But municipal voting is for lists of which the number one is the candidate for mayor, and you can vote for the list you wish. Afterwards, the new council elects the mayor.
In local elections anyone who is has Swedish citizenship or EU citizenship and is living in Sweden or has lived in Sweden for more then 3 years can vote, and the voting list is created from the population registry that also keeps track of where you pay your local taxes and such.
This holds for elections to local and regional assemblies (there are no mayors in Sweden). The only election that only swedish citizens can vote in is the one to national parliament. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
That's plain ridiculous... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
