No, it's hand written names of parties. Most of them of parties that doesn't exist.

- eru 16y agoOK. Do hand written names count in Sweden? That's interesting. (I know that in Germany, every ballot that has anything but one or two Xs on it, is discarded as invalid.)
- Kafka 16y agoIf it's an exact name of a party then it will be included. Almost all voters use the pre-printed ballots though.
- Muzza 16y agoTo clarify: to be valid, a hand-written ballot needs to identify the party without there being any confusion. Thus, a ballot saying "Fp" will be counted as a vote for Folkpartiet, but "Socialmoderaterna" would be invalid.
- dLuna 16y agoTo clarify this further. This is true if the party in question has ordered ballot papers from the central voting authority. This is (strangely enough) a different thing from being a runner in the election. So "Donald Duck" and "DONALD DUCK" would count the same iff someone has ordered official ballot paper for Donald Duck party (or similar). They would (or at least should) count individually if not.
