This year, 391 pupils are participating. The election will be held on 4 and 5 September, and 368 pupils reported their results before the deadline. The school election is organized in the election year. The election should give the pupils the experience and practical experience of participating in a democracy. The election is similar to a real election, the pupils vote by placing their ballot in a ballot box. This year, the pupils can vote for the party standing for election in the county council election in the county where the school is located. news compares this year’s result with the school election in 2019. There are several reasons for this. The election organizer himself compares the results with the school election in 2019. The election four years ago was the first time the students voted as if it were a county council election. The school election in 2019 is thus more comparable to this year’s election than the school election in 2021 is. In opinion polls and in the election next week, the result will be compared to 2019.
