In the current situation, those who are not Swedish citizens but have been registered in Sweden for over three years in a row are allowed to vote in municipal and regional elections. This is too short a time, according to the KD leader, who thinks that the government should review the rules.
Busch believes that there is a risk in allowing people who are not Swedish citizens to vote in municipal and regional elections.
People who are not Swedish citizens, but have lived in the municipality for only a few years, can suddenly be allowed to vote in the municipal election. One can wonder where the time limit should be, she says to Aftonbladet.
Busch means that a municipality's entire direction can be affected if there is a large influx of citizens from another country.
This is not quite reasonable.
A situation like the one Busch is warning about has not yet occurred in Sweden, writes Aftonbladet. People who are citizens of another EU country, Norway, or Iceland, but are registered in a Swedish municipality are also allowed to vote in municipal and regional elections.
