Several political parties in Dalarna are reportedly struggling to fill their candidate lists with weeks remaining before the April 9 deadline for the upcoming Swedish election on September 13, 2026. According to Dala-Demokraten, Vänsterpartiet in Malung-Sälen currently has no names on their candidate list for the first time in 50 years, while Liberalerna risks losing both members and candidates. Monica Lundin, identified as the dalaordförande for Liberalerna, acknowledged the challenges but assured that lists would be completed.
"This delays us, but we will come out with lists," Lundin reportedly stated. The situation highlights the behind-the-scenes work required to prepare candidate lists that voters will see on election day.
