Over the last week has valpulsen risen again in the old mining town. Förtidsröstningen is running on, inter alia, the library and the hospital. Politicians in jackets with colors that suit their partibeteckning is campaigning on the streets.

with 145 falubors förtidsröster submitted to the municipality about five hours too late. Postnord delivered is not the bag in time for counting of ballots – something they believe was not included in the contract.

– When there are options in Sweden to procure The election authority an agreement with us that applies to all municipalities. Then, you can choose to purchase additional services if you want it to, something that Falun gong did not, ” says Mathias Krümmel, head of production at Postnord.

the Municipality would collect the bag with the votes, mean postbolaget. When this late in the afternoon of 12 september still was not done, drove Postnord to end out the. But too late for that, the votes would be counted.

” We have delivered what was in the agreement. Then you can in retrospect say that the result was not so good. So we had possibly been able to communicate: ”dear municipality, now have you not downloaded the votes in the day that you were going to do”, says Mathias Krümmel.

another idea.

Mats Sörsten, which is one of those who worked with the election, shows up one letter where it says that Postnord would run out of ballots.

– Here you can see for yourself, it says: ”Wednesday, september 12, will Postnord to run out may not be collected value containing the votes directly to the election commission”. But the votes came in late, ” he says.

the Case had to go all the way up to Valprövningsnämnden, and could only conclude that the word stood against word. It also notes that the outcome of either the parliamentary elections or the Dalarna region could be affected by 145 votes. In the local election, however, which demanded the board that the process would be done.

have planned to visit the Falun to meet people and give speeches. But centerledaren Annie Lööf has taken it a step further and scheduled two visits during election week. It is not surprising, since the Centre party now has the record as the president of the Falun. A worse result than in september would not give them the same strong position.

Inside the school building keeps the party leader Jonas Sjöstedt, on Tuesday a speech to his local constituents. According to V-leader to attract his party, an increasing proportion of young women. But in the auditorium is at least a third of the visitors had any grey hairs. Sjöstedt is well-read and versed in the local issues. The century ends with a pattering of applause from all present, except a small group of teens who pressure on their jerseys that the judge is in the Moderate youth league.

is one of them who listened to Jonas Sjöstedt’s speech. She tells me that the Socialists always got her voice in the past election. But not this time.

” I think this last election has been horrible. Stefan Löfven is controlled as in the dog leash of the bourgeois. It can he to continue, but then he will lose, ” says Birgitta Skoog and aimed at Januariöverenskommelsen.

The latest polls shows that the largest parties, the Moderates and the social democrats lose voters after the protracted formation of the government.

Jonas Sjöstedt think that it could benefit his party.

” We will go forward. But I think SD has peaked and will not grow more. In the past they could dominate the debate, but the influence has lessened. Their questions are about to give way, and I think that it is important for how you look at societal problems. If there is inequality and lack of welfare which they see as the problems or if it is always just to talk about migration, ” says Jonas Sjöstedt.

it is now up to the evidence of the parliamentary parties.

– it is a large municipality and we were a voice from further a mandate. So we want to see opportunities to grow, and in the best case, the change in power in the municipality. I also believe that the choice has a national importance, it is the first real test after högeruppgörelsen. If we go up here and in the EU elections then it is part of our strategy to challenge the government, ” says Jonas Sjöstedt.

” I think it is a huge disappointment from the left-wing movement and it is only we who can channel the disappointment to the documents. And it is our task to do. A bit simplistic, there may be opposition from two directions in this term, it can be red – it can be blåbrun. And the pages on which it is growing and dominates the debate now will determine the next choice. And this has just begun, the EUROPEAN elections will be about it, this is all in its small format also, if it is. It is important that we take this role as the leading opposition party, ” says Sjöstedt.

Falun, sweden has been ruled by the Centre party, in cooperation with the social democrats and the green Party in the last two terms of office. After the results of the election in september of this year was it got so that they got a greater possibility of choosing a partner. They went into a classic allianssamarbete together with the small local Falupartiet and a so-called valteknisk collaboration with the Left party. In practice, this means that V lovas influence in the councils and boards of directors to vote on their own proposal in connection with the budgetomröstningar. The arrangement involved the transfer of power in the municipality.

Even now, she will go to the polls and see it as their duty.

– so you have to almost go out and vote, I think, it is an obligation, ” says Magdalena Edling.

But the adds at the same time:

– There were so few votes, they could well have opened up the where the bag.

Self thats she for issues related to the pension and do not think there is any party that is seriously addressing the problems of low incomes for the country’s pensioners.

– In the parliamentary elections, I voted for The Swedish democrats, I want someone to stir the pot.

the SD controller do not care to comment on the local politics in Falun, but I feel it is important to vote in the re-election on Sunday.

has traveled to Falun, he says, ”to the well-expected”.

Jimmie Åkesson and his party have not done a similar analysis of the elections in Falun, which Sjöstedt.

” It is certainly the case that it has happened very much on the political map from the last half of the year and it is now being tested in any sense. We see the huge changes in the polls. Then I don’t know how pass elections in Falun will be a measure of value for it, but something it can safely provide, think Åkesson.

be a record low. the When it was re-election in the Västra Götaland region 2011, 44 per cent of the voters to the polls for a second round.

Henrik Oscarsson is professor in political science at the University of Gothenburg believe that it valdeltagandets sake would have been better if the re-election was held in conjunction with the EU elections on may 26.

Many voters have the attitude that ”I voted already last time so now I have done my”. But the votes that they cast in september, they will be worth zero. So you must vote again, ” says the political scientist.

the Administration Jonas Sjöstedt think that there is a certain symbolism in the.

– Now we got a little extra options instead, ” he says.
