You must bring a valid ID. If you do not have an ID, another person can confirm your identity. The person helping you must show their own ID.

Kramfors Municipality is divided into 13 electoral districts, each with its own polling station.

If you are unable to visit a polling station or an advance voting location due to illness, age, or disability, you may be able to vote by courier, where another person, such as a family member or someone who regularly assists you, delivers your vote.
