Valbarometer

What is Valbarometer.nu?

Valbarometer.nu is an independent opinion tool that lets visitors state which party they would vote for if there were an election today. Results are presented in real time and updated continuously. The site is not affiliated with any political party, organisation, or news outlet.

How does voting work?

Each visitor can vote once per day. To keep track of this without storing personal data we use an anonymous browser fingerprint — a hash built from publicly available browser and device signals such as screen size, language, timezone, graphics rendering, audio signature, and installed fonts. The fingerprint is only used inside the site to reduce duplicate voting and cannot be directly linked to a specific individual.

We also store your approximate region (county) in order to display regional opinion data. The region is determined based on voluntarily provided information and can be left blank.

Methodology

The results are not a representative sample of the Swedish population — they reflect the opinions of visitors who actively choose to vote on the site. Valbarometer.nu makes no claim to being a scientific opinion poll. Seat allocation is calculated using the D'Hondt method based on current vote shares, with a 4% threshold and 349 seats.

Tech stack

Valbarometer.nu is built with modern open-source tools. Here is an overview of the technologies powering the site.
