Swedish elections 2022



In a series of analyses, I have reported on political issues such as immigration, gender inequality, polarisation, representation in local government, etc ahead of the elections on September 11th.

I created a visual history to take the readers back to the time:

I visualised the different perspectives on the top political issues – that did not get proportional attention in mainstream media. I analyzed the major Swedish media to explore the attention differernt politicians get.

I highlighted the gender inequality in the lesser-known local government in one of the most gender-equal countries in the world.

Note: You can explore the data using the charts found at the end of the article.


My sources include reports from the research institutions, discussions with experts and data from various governmental institutions and research publications.

I created most of the following articles using scrollytelling and other interactive techniques.

Story   Scrolly movement-/Interaction type
Multiculturalism   Move across time
Crime and other political issues   Move across categories
Political identification   Move across categories

*Note: All these stories have two types of Jensen’s Interactivity: transmissional with popup information and consultational in visualising the same data on multiple charts.*
