SVT’s Election Compass Cleared After Complaints to Review Board

The review board has cleared SVT’s election compass following several complaints, the Swedish Media Authority said in a press release.

The election compass was published on SVT's website ahead of this autumn's parliamentary election. The complainants considered the content misleading and some of the questions incorrectly worded.

But according to the Review Board, the publication did not breach the requirements of impartiality and objectivity.

This is the first time a public service election compass has been reviewed by the committee. A change in the law that took effect on January 1 this year made the regulations technology-neutral, meaning that SVT's websites and social media can also be reviewed.
