“Forecast: the Interest for the EUROPEAN elections continues to be high”

“70 per cent of respondents to the survey stated that they definitely or probably will vote in the EU elections in may, according to a Sifoundersökning as the news site Europa made. The figure is on the same level as forecast in February.”

“Compare it with the same time before the election in 2014 stated the 66% that they definitely or probably would vote. In addition, the percentage of people who are sure that they are going to vote higher now than five years ago, almost 42 per cent compared to 35 per cent.”

“According to Sifos calculations usually half of them stating that they are going to vote do it too. It, together with the proportion who say they definitely will vote allows the voter turnout could end up at around 56%, which is slightly higher than the 2014 election. Then, the voting turnout was 51 per cent.”

“2 097 swedes were asked in the survey, which was conducted during the period 19-25 march, 2019.”
