Local party in Tidaholm reported over suspected vote buying

The local party Vi i Tidaholm has been reported, suspected of offering money to new members, P4 Skaraborg reports.

The offer was reportedly made in a social media post from the party, days before the election.

The head of the Tidaholm municipality office, Jenny Beckman, reported the offer to the Election Authority as suspected vote buying.

I can't say it was a question of vote buying, but we thought there was some kind of influence that made it stand out from the ordinary, Jenny Beckman told P4 Skaraborg.

According to the preliminary election results for the municipality, Vi i Tidaholm is falling sharply, losing several seats on the council.

This year is the first time that incident reports related to the election will be submitted to the Election Authority.
