Why this option does not fit

Ansöka om att bli svensk medborgare

Spanish citizenship satisfies the European election citizenship requirement.

Invänta automatisk registrering genom folkbokföringen

Population registration alone does not enrol her for her first European election in Sweden. She must apply to vote here.

Vänta tills hon bott här i tre år

The three-year rule does not apply to EU citizens in European elections.
