As the 2024 EU election results start to come in, Swedish and Finnish voters reveal some interesting trends.

In Finland, the Left Alliance has seen a significant surge, gaining 11.3 percentage points to reach 18.3%, while the nationalist Finns Party drops by 7.2 percentage points.

In Sweden, voters turn out in steady numbers despite traditionally lower participation in EU elections.

People in Halmstad expressed that the election feels particularly important this year due to global uncertainties.
