Swedish law enforcement has released updated figures on allegations of election fraud, counting 125 submissions concerning illicit actions at the polls and claims of improper advantages. The complaints are distributed across regions, with Bergslagen reporting the highest number at 26 and Mitt the lowest at 6, while 12 remain unattributed. Of the total, 33 investigations are presently active, according to police statements.
