Dalarna regional election nominations reach 491 amid party shortages

Despite recent candidate shortages in some municipalities, 491 candidates from twelve parties have been nominated for Dalarna's regional council election this autumn—115 more than in 2022. The Green Party and Liberals, which faced list gaps in several areas, are aiming for a comeback after losing seats in 2022. Nearly all are on locked lists.

Newsworthy reports that 491 people from twelve parties have been nominated as candidates for Dalarna's regional council election this autumn. This is 115 more than in the 2022 election.

As previously reported, parties like the Liberals, Greens, and Left Party struggled to field complete lists in all Dalarna municipalities ahead of the deadline for locked lists. Now, the Greens and Liberals are seeking a return to the regional council after losing their seats in 2022.

Nearly all candidates are on locked lists, where parties have preset the order and no additions are possible.
