EU School Elections: Social Media's Influence

Published: 2024-06-13

In the recent EU school elections, the Sweden Democrats emerged as the largest party, followed by the Moderates and Social Democrats.

The results highlight the impact of social media on political engagement among young voters.

Experts argue that some parties, like the Sweden Democrats, have been more effective in reaching young people through these platforms.

While only slightly more than half of eligible students voted, this still represented an increase from previous years.

The findings suggest that young voters' preferences can be quite different from the general population's.
