Do you normally get told by your family elder, union boss or pastor in church whom to vote for, handed a pre-filled vote form and 'helped' to make sure you 'vote right'? Do they pay you to 'vote right' in this way?

Well, yes, in some cases that seems to have happened, e.g. in the Los Angeles mayoral elections where the 'democratic' party made sure to get a third-party candidate - Spencer Pratt - out of the way by paying homeless people to vote for the 'democratic' candidates Bass and Rahman [1,2,3] but this is also seen as election fraud, not 'just voting'.

Clan voting - or Mosque voting - is against Swedish law. It would be against American law as well, and against Dutch and German law and most likely against any 'Western' country's laws related to voting. The vote is supposed to be personal, secret, without coercion, without remuneration or punishment for 'voting wrong'. That is not what happened here so it is not 'just voting'. Claiming it is implies democracy is a lost cause and not something which should be done lightly. The process is far from perfect - as can be seen by the now daily reports of new voting fraud related to the Swedish communist party - but it is still better than the alternatives.
