What is the issue?
Better opportunities for the Swedish Tax Agency to detect errors and fraud in the population registration.
The Riksdag said yes to the government's proposal that the Swedish Tax Agency should be given better opportunities to conduct data analysis and selection in the population registration in order to reduce errors and fraud and combat crime against the welfare systems.
This is how the votes should be read:
Yes means supporting the change described above. No means voting against it.

Seed votes are official votes from members of parliament, not votes from the public or VoteWorld. VoteWorld votes may be added after the import.
Source note: The Riksdag reminds that a report often contains several proposal points and sometimes several votes. VoteWorld therefore links the seed votes to the linked vote/proposal point, not automatically to all decisions in the entire report.
