Why this option does not fit
Väljaren behöver inte visa andra vilket parti hen väljer
That describes secret elections. Free elections concern deciding for yourself whether and how to vote.
Väljaren måste delta men får själv välja vilket parti
In Sweden, participation is voluntary too. Free elections here also allow the voter to abstain.
Väljaren utser företrädare utan att först välja särskilda elektorer
That describes direct elections. Free elections concern the voter’s independent choice and voluntary participation.
