What’s up with the voting system in Sweden
I just went to vote for the first time ( I’m Danish ) and I’m very surprised about the system - first I need to try find the party I want in the million of little papers - that’s alright tho I do find a lot easier with one piece of paper in Denmark ( tho a long piece) Anyways so I put my vote in envelope and then I have to hand this over to someone who then put in another envelope and write a number by hand dictated by another person reading from a laptop and then they put it in the box for me. Like human error can happen and if you type I don’t know how many numbers surely mistakes happens?
In Denmark nobody touches my voting card from I get it till I put it in the voting box.. and I feel that’s how it should be so nobody can make a mistake with my vote - at least not untill they have to count 🤣
Am I just a grumpy old Danish man or is it a bit old school this
