How to get involved

The parties locally

The parties organise in districts and local branches. Links go to the parties' own pages - only pages we could verify are listed.

Contacts in the constituency

Sweden has no mayors. The closest equivalent is the chair of the municipal executive board, an elected politician, with the chief executive on the administrative side. Every name below comes from the municipality's or region's own page - where it is not published we say so and link to the contact page and the register of elected representatives instead.
