8.2
 

An appropriate screened-off area shall be arranged adjacent to each vote reception point where ballot papers can be put out and voters can each take their ballot papers without being observed.


If this is not possible, such an area may instead be arranged inside the premises. In this area, voters shall have access to:


1. ballot papers bearing only election denominations;


2. ballot papers bearing party and election denominations:


a) for elections to the Riksdag and to regional and municipal assemblies, for every party that at either of the last two elections to the Riksdag received more than 1 per cent of the votes in the whole of Sweden; and


b) for elections to regional and municipal assemblies, for every party that is already represented there and that does not satisfy the requirements contained in point a above, as regards vote reception points within the region or municipality where the party is represented;


3. ballot papers bearing party and election denominations for elections to the European Parliament for every party that at either of the two last elections to the European Parliament received more than 1 per cent of the votes in the whole of Sweden, or ballot papers bearing party and election denominations together with details of candidates if such a party is only participating with a single ballot paper.


The parties participating in the election shall also be able to make their ballot papers available to voters. However, it is the election committee or foreign mission that puts the ballot papers out in the screened-off area.

The ballot papers shall be presented in a uniform manner.


The provisions contained in the first paragraph, points 2 and 3 only apply provided that the party has made a request under Chapter 6, Section 7.
