Swedish election 19th of September!

On 19th of September, the Swedish election to the riksdag (the Swedish parliament), the municipalities and to the county councils takes place.
You might have noticed the small cabins on Stora Torget, they are election centras for the different parties in Sweden. The cabins are called "friggebodar" and is a Swedish phenomena. They can be put in your garden (they are ready-made) wihout having to seek building permission so they are rather popular.
Just thought you might want to know :D
On election day, the TV channels (primarily the public service channels which are called SVT, and also tv4) are going to be full of so called "valvakor" which means basically interviews with politicians, the voting process and so on.
