A politician in Landskrona is now under investigation following reports of pre-marked ballots\u2014a key element that also features in the broader investigation in Dalarna.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complaint alleging improper conduct during voting has been filed with the police in Sk\u00e5ne. According to the complaint, a politician in Landskrona is alleged to have distributed several ballots on which the politician\u2019s own name was already checked. The case concerns the municipal council election, reports <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landskronadirekt.com\/2026\/09\/22\/politiker-misstankt-for-valfusk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Landskrona Direct<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ballots with marks on them<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Police Investigator <strong>Matilda Strandberg <\/strong>states that it is still unclear exactly how many ballots are involved. However, there are reportedly more than one, and according to the report, they were distributed at a location other than the polling place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <em>It appears that a politician has distributed ballots on which his or her name is marked,<\/em> Strandberg says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Same as in Dalarna<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case comes at the same time as a major investigation into suspected election fraud is underway in Dalarna. There, too, investigators are looking into improper conduct during voting, and there are also reports of pre-marked ballots that were allegedly distributed to voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Borl\u00e4nge, there are also reports that voters were transported to early voting locations. The police have been conducting surveillance on a car and several individuals, although the investigation was initially closed due to a lack of evidence and later reopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Two cases\u2014no documented connection<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These similarities do not imply that the cases are known to be connected. The Landskrona case concerns the municipal election and reports of pre-marked ballots, while the investigation in Dalarna concerns the parliamentary election and involves multiple alleged methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Landskrona, the case is now being handled by the police\u2019s Major Crimes Unit in Helsingborg. It remains to be determined whether a crime has been committed, which is also the police\u2019s next step in the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <em>And now we're going to investigate whether a crime has been committed,<\/em> Strandberg says.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yet another case of suspected election fraud is under investigation.
