Umeå stands out in this year's election – because of the long queues. Ålidhem has been hit hardest in the country. Uel Mulughta, 23, was most likely the last person to vote in Sweden. – I think my vote can decide the election, he says.
Queue chaos arose at several polling stations in the country on Sunday. In Umeå, voters waited 3.5 hours to vote. The election authority warned in 2022 that the situation risked escalating. – It is a systemic problem. The municipalities cannot be blamed, says Chief of Staff Anna Nyqvist.
Uel Mulughta, 23, may have voted last in Sweden. After three hours of waiting, he finally arrived at the ballot box in Umeå. “It's a bit of a shock,” he tells Aftonbladet.
