Why this option does not fit
Hon får rösta efter ytterligare två år
As an EU citizen, she is exempt from the three-year rule.
Hon får rösta efter svenskt medborgarskap
Swedish citizenship is required for the Riksdag election, not here.
Hon får rösta efter anmälan till röstlängden
Her municipal voting eligibility is based on population registration. A separate application applies when a citizen of another EU country wants to vote here in European elections.
