Polling stations in Sweden opened at 8am local time and will close at 8pm, with results expected shortly after. The latest surveys indicate a narrow margin of less than one percentage point between the left-wing and right-wing blocs, raising the possibility of the far-right entering government for the first time.
Former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson leads the opposition Social Democrats, but the competition has intensified as the election approaches. Two exit polls will be released at 8pm, followed by a projection from public broadcaster SVT about an hour later.
The outcome of this election could significantly impact Sweden's political landscape, particularly if the far-right gains a foothold in government. Observers will be watching how the results influence future policy directions and party dynamics within the country.
