Örebro municipality releases democracy song to boost voter turnout

Örebro municipality and the study association Bilda have launched a new song aimed at increasing voter turnout among people with disabilities.

The song, called a demokratilåt, is a joint project between the municipality and Bilda. Its purpose is to encourage more people with disabilities to vote.

Charlotte Ollward comments on the initiative: These are incredibly wise people, they know best about themselves.

In Sweden everyone has had the right to vote since 1989, yet turnout remains lower among people with disabilities.
