"Here to stay" - now the parties are opening their polling booths in Västerbotten

On Monday, the parties opened the polling booths at the Town Hall Square in Umeå.

In the coming week, polling booths and election tents will also be set up in Lycksele and Skellefteå.

- We noticed last election that there has been an upswing in interest.

I think that the polling booths are here to stay, and the debate that has been in the past about maybe stopping it, it doesn't exist today, says Umeå's opposition councilor Anders Ågren (M).
