The Swedish election system is robust Manual, decentralized, transparent. Trust in the system needs to be protected We need to reduce vulnerabilities and increase capacity. Influence Activities cannot be ruled out It cannot be ruled out that a foreign power will try to influence the 2018 general election. Therefore we must prepare ourselves. Sweden is much better prepared now than a year ago Preparations has produced good results - but we need to continue the work until the elections and beyond. Det svenska valsystemet är robust. Risken för att valet som helhet påverkas är sannolikt liten. Men att förtroendet påverkan är allvarligt. För demokratin och för enskilda myndigheter. Vi måste stå på tå!
