Amidst debates on the legitimacy of the EU elections, Sweden has seen a record turnout in early voting for the upcoming European Parliament elections.

While some argue that voting in these elections means endorsing a "pseudo-democracy," many Swedes seem keen to participate this year.

Early voting has surged by nearly 40% compared to 2019, suggesting a potential historical high in voter participation.

Experts like Professor Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson note a strong correlation between early voting numbers and overall turnout.

The final voter participation rate will be revealed on June 9th.
