Martin Antblad, the Christian Democrats' top candidate in Älvdalen, has launched a proposal to change the municipality's name ahead of this fall's municipal council election.
The aim of the proposal is to highlight the areas of Särna and Idre. According to Antblad, these places often end up in the shadows because attention centers on the name Älvdalen.
The idea was presented as a way to create more balance in the municipality's identity. Antblad believes a new name would give better visibility to the entire region.
The municipal council election takes place this fall. The proposal comes from the Christian Democrats in Älvdalen.
