Your Voice in Democracy – For Real

Democracy doesn't just happen every four years. Every week, numerous decisions are made in The Swedish Parliament (Riksdagen) that affect your daily life, your wallet, and your future. But how easy is it to keep up? Skuggrösta is the tool that makes parliamentary decisions understandable and accessible to everyone.

We believe that a strong democracy is built on informed citizens. That's why we've built a platform where you can take a stand on the same issues as your elected politicians – and see how well they actually represent you.

How It Works

Skuggrösta is built on a simple but powerful idea: Compare your opinion with the facts.

• •We fetch data: We monitor the parliament's open data feeds in real-time. As soon as a vote is completed, it appears here shortly after.
• •You take a stand: You read summaries of the proposals (committee reports) and vote Yes, No, or Abstain. Without knowing who voted what in advance.
• •We match: Once you've cast your vote, we reveal how the parties voted. See how the parties actually vote on issues that matter to you, not just what they say in election campaigns.

Data You Can Trust

Transparency is our backbone. All information on Skuggrösta comes directly from The Swedish Parliament's open data.

• •We never alter the substance of the issues.
• •We use AI to summarize complex bureaucratic texts into plain language, but always link to the original documents.
• •We are politically independent and driven by a passion for open data and digital democracy.
