Few Swedes know their regional politicians

In less than six months, there will be elections in Sweden.

To the Riksdag, regions and municipalities.

The regional election seems to be the least engaging.

When 1,000 people were interviewed in Novus' survey, only 17 percent knew the name of one of their regional politicians.

The survey also shows that most people think that the parliamentary election is what matters most, only 4 percent of Swedes think the regional election is most important.

SVT Nyheter Öst's reporters talked to residents in Österbymo and Finspång to see how the knowledge about the regional politicians is there.

You can see how it went in the video above.
