It's the final push in the election campaign, and now it's up to the parties to get people to the polling stations.
There are only five days left until election day on June 9. Nooshi Dadgastar and a group of election workers are canvassing in Fittja, a million-program neighborhood south of Stockholm.
The election workers have brought ice cream and newspapers to distribute, and the ice cream is having a hot reception in the heat. While the children are eating ice cream in the playground, V-leader is encouraging parents to go and vote.
Right now, it's mostly about mobilizing voters.
But there are still questions that she thinks spark engagement when she talks to people: high prices, gig workers' conditions, and the Palestine issue.
Nooshi Dadgastar is targeting some high-rise apartments with walkways, but almost no one opens the door when the Left Party knocks on the door. And the few who do have no idea that it's election day. The V-leader talks for a while about food prices and high rents, about how important it is to vote and explains where the polling station is located.
This election district in Fittja is the V's home turf. In the last EU election, they got almost 17 percent here. The problem is that so few people vote, only about one in four, which is a long way below the national average of 55 percent for voter turnout.
The message from Dadgastar is that the EU affects everyone's daily life, that it boils down to left and right even in the EU, and that it's not hard to vote.
