Liberalerna i Dalarna har svårt med kandidatlistor i flera kommuner

Liberalerna i Dalarna har svårt att hitta kandidater till valet 2026 och saknar valbara politiker i flera kommuner. Namnlistorna måste registreras hos Valmyndigheten senast den 9 april. Partiet arbetar in i det sista för att lösa situationen i orter som Vansbro, Mora och Leksand.

Liberalerna i Dalarna står inför en tuff utmaning inför kommunalvalet 2026. Med drygt fem månader kvar till valet måste partierna lämna in namn på kandidater som samtyckt till att stå på valsedlarna. Deadline är imorgon, den 9 april, då listorna ska registreras hos Valmyndigheten.

Partiet saknar helt namn i Älvdalen, Orsa, Hedemora och Säter. Situationen ser också problematisk ut på andra håll i regionen.

"Vi jobbar dock in i det sista. Vansbro, Mora och Leksand försöker vi med nu", säger Martina Elfström (L). Hon betonar att rekryteringen riktar sig både till befintliga medlemmar och personer som inte varit engagerade tidigare.
