If you can read Swedish the following article in
Svenska Dagbladet (a major Swedish newspaper) gives an overview of what happened in voting locations in Järva (a city district of Stockholm):

If you can't read Swedish and don't feel like pulling the article through a translator I can provide some examples, taken from this article:
1. More than a hundred Eritrean women come in groups to vote early at the civic office in Husby. They are joined by two priests from their congregation. Everyone votes for the same party, and ticks the same candidate. The priests instruct the women how to do it.
2. A man is repeatedly driven out of the polling station in Tensta Library for giving instructions to others how to vote. On several occasions, he is caught handing out pre-filled ballots just outside the entrance.
3. At the end of August there's a constant stream of early voters in Rinkeby. Many do not know Swedish at all and have no idea how to act in a polling station or what they should vote for. But one thing they know, a task they have been given, and a phrase they can say, “Number eight”. Ilyas Hassan, from Husby. Member of the board of the communist party. Their countryman.
4. An elderly woman with a perambulator comes in for early voting in the company of an employee of the municipal civic office next door. When the old lady walks up to the election official, the 'assistant' leaves the venue. Just when the official is about to put the ballot envelopes in the voting box the woman suddenly exclaims “stop”. And then she tells her that she really wants to vote for another party. But that she had needed help at the office to copy some documents, and that the person who worked there only wanted to assist her if she first went and voted for the Communist Party.
5. A [man] in Tensta appears to habitually accompany voters into the early voting room. He even tries to get behind the screen to 'help' them put voting forms he provided into the envelopes. He is repeatedly driven out. When one of the election officials goes to Tensta square he sees the man. He sits in the Communist Party's election cabin and wears a yellow vest with the party's sigil.
6. In all early voting rooms in Järva voting officials need to check voting form stands several times an hour. More often than not things have happened. Voting forms have been moved or hidden. And constantly pre-filled voting forms are found between the others or are left on the table, mostly for the Communist Party, usually marked for candidate number eight.
7. Staff in the voting locations - one of the sources says that it happened to him three times - are discreetly summoned to the voting booths by voters. They nervously whisper that they want help with the disposal of pre-filled voting envelopes without anyone seeing this because they want to personally choose what to vote for.
8. Remote control via mobile phones. Many of the early voters in Järva stand with their phone behind the voting screen. They have photos or written instructions sent to them to make sure they choose the right party and candidate. Others make video calls for help to do the right thing. Not sure to whom.
...
[election officials] also agree on what terms should be used to describe what they have seen. “Clan voting, election influence and voter fraud at a level I have never seen before,” one of the officials said. Another argues that it was obvious that clans and mosques ruled much of the vote, and that ignorant voters – mostly women – were systematically misled and exploited.
...
“Should police and prosecutors investigate what happened, and how?” [the writer] asks
.
The answer comes after a while.
“Yes,” he replies, “and I don’t want to be involved any more if it’s going to be this way.”
This does not sound like 'the 2026 election was not particularly remarkable'. The small margins in the Swedish elections mean it only takes a few thousand of these coerced votes to significantly change the outcome. It is time to defend our democracy. Clan and mosque voting is not part of our democracy and should not become so either, agree?
