The central election authority shall prepare a voting card for every voter. For voters who do not have a known address or who are not registered as resident in Sweden, a voting card shall only be issued if they request one.

Voting cards as referred to in the first paragraph shall be sent out in sufficiently good time that they may be expected to be received by voters no later than 18 days prior to the election day.

For every voter who is not registered as resident in Sweden, the central election authority is to issue an expatriate voting card. These cards are to be sent to voters no later than 50 days before the election day.
