Since 2001, all members who have reached the age of 16 have been allowed to vote in Sweden's church elections, but the interest in participating in the election has been cool over the years.
Although the last election had the highest number of votes ever counted, just under one-fifth of all eligible voters took part.
Of the young people SVT spoke to, many felt insecure.
Few knew about the church election, and even fewer were aware that they are eligible to vote as 16-year-olds.
- I am not so familiar.
I think it is better that those who have an opinion about it are involved and influence, says Isabelle Malmqvist from Hässleholm.
First chance to influence in an election
There are divided opinions among young people, but many see it as their chance to express their opinion and be involved and influence for the future.
16-year-old Elliott Ljung from Malmö thinks it is important to exercise your right to vote.
- If everyone stops voting, we will lose all options, and maybe even democracy, he says.
"Not voting is also a choice"
Kent Kvist, who is the development coordinator at the Church Office in Lund Diocese, does not think, however, that the low turnout should necessarily be interpreted as something negative.
- It is important to emphasize that there is not much fighting going on within the church, not voting is also a choice.
It is often a sign of how the church operates in the local context and you are satisfied, he says.
