With just over a week left until the EU elections, it's crucial for voters to understand the importance of their participation.

The EU Parliament, which has significant influence over climate policies, asylum laws, and the future of the European defense industry, will see 21 Swedish representatives out of 720. Key issues for Swedish voters include climate change, terrorism, democracy, security, and poverty.

Voting is available from June 6-9, with the main voting day in Sweden on June 9. Over 100 parties are participating, including the eight main parliamentary parties, allowing voters the opportunity to choose their preferred candidates.
