The Election Review Board shall revoke an election to the extent that it is necessary and make an order for re-election in the constituency affected

1. if upon the preparation and implementation of the election for which an authority is responsible there has been a deviation from the prescribed system, or

2. if someone has impeded voting, corrupted votes cast or improperly acted at the election in some other way.

If rectification can be achieved by a renewed count or some other such less intrusive measure, the Board shall instead assign the deciding authority to implement such rectification.

Rectification according to the first or second paragraph shall only be effected if it may be deemed that it is justified by what has occurred having had an effect on the outcome of the election.

A re-election to the Riksdag or county council assembly only relates to the number of permanent seats and adjustment seats that have been allocated to the constituency affected in connection with the revoked election.
