Protection of population registration information etc.
Protection of population-register data, including for people with protected identities
What's at stake: The outcome affects how well sensitive population-register data is protected, with particular significance for people at risk of violence who live under a protected identity and who can risk exposure, for example through authorities' duty to disclose public information.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether current rules and safeguards for population-register data are sufficient, or whether further legislative measures are needed to strengthen protection, including for people living with a protected identity.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee considers that the proposed safeguards, including rules on the maximum retention period for personal data and strong confidentiality protection, outweigh the intrusion on privacy, and that further legislative measures are not needed, and therefore rejects the motions.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 8 (C)
The reservation wants the government to task the Gender Equality Agency with mapping the extent of post-separation abuse and, together with other authorities, develop action programmes, and wants legislative gaps that allow domestic-violence victims and children with protected identities to be exposed — for example when municipalities are compelled to state whether a person works there — closed without delay.
Summarised from the committee report. Party labels in the summary come from the report, not from the vote.
What do the votes mean here?
Yes The committee proposal: rejecting the motions (keeping things as they are).
No Backing the counter-proposal: reservation 8 by C.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.

What each plan points to — and how the party voted
For each party: the vote its own election manifesto and party programme point to in this case, next to how the party actually voted. A plan can only point to Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Riksdag decision: The Tax Agency is to have improved opportunities to reduce errors and fraud in population registration. This is to counteract crime directed at, among other things, welfare systems. The Riksdag said yes to the government's proposal. Through the legislative amendments, the Tax Agency may process personal data to conduct data analysis and sampling for the purpose of preventing, blocking and detecting incorrect information in population registration. The agency is to focus on areas with high risk of errors and fraud and where the best possible effect can be achieved. For the information collected for analysis and sampling, new regulations are introduced, which among other things aims to reduce the intrusion on personal integrity that the proposals may entail. For example, special rules are introduced regarding maximum time for processing personal data and strong confidentiality protection. The legislative amendments concerning data analysis and sampling and the amendment to the law on risk tax for credit institutions enter into force on May 1, 2023. Other legislative amendments enter into force on September 1, 2023.
Counter-proposals
- The counter-proposal wants to make joint custody the norm for all children from birth. (C) — Reservation 8
Plan vs actual vote
Every party, in chamber order: what its own plan pointed to, how it voted, and the reasoning behind both. Highlighted rows are where the two differ — but a vote that follows the plan is a result too, so the reasoning is there for every party.
The plan makes men's violence against women a structural societal problem and requires that those who leave violent abuse have the right to a long-term secure housing solution and that social services support is guaranteed.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan makes men's violence against women a structural societal problem and requires that those who leave violent abuse have the right to a long-term secure housing solution and that social services support is guaranteed. Mapping post-separation violence, developing intervention programmes and closing gaps that reveal protected identities are direct measures for the same protection. The plan does not mention the rules of population registration, which is why the conclusion is derived.
Original (Swedish)
Planen gör mäns våld mot kvinnor till ett strukturellt samhällsproblem och kräver att den som lämnar våldsutsatthet har rätt till en långsiktigt trygg boendelösning och att socialtjänstens stöd garanteras. Att kartlägga eftervåld, ta fram åtgärdsprogram och täppa till luckor som röjer skyddade identiteter är direkta åtgärder för samma skydd. Planen talar inte om folkbokföringens regler, varför slutsatsen härleds.
- secure housing after violencedecisive»Vänsterpartiet anser att det därutöver måste vara en rättighet att få hjälp med en långsiktig trygg boendelösning för den som behöver det för att lämna våldsutsatthet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Left Party considers that there must moreover be a right to receive assistance with a long-term secure housing solution for those who need it to leave violent abuse.”
- violence as structural problem»Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett strukturellt samhällsproblem.« (party programme ↗)“Men's violence against women is a structural societal problem.”
- stable support against violence in close relationships»Socialtjänsten måste garanteras ett varaktigt och stabilt stöd för arbetet mot våld i nära relationer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Social services must be guaranteed lasting and stable support for work against violence in close relationships.”
- resources in the justice chain»Polisen behöver utbildas och ges resurser för att göra« (party programme ↗)“Police need to be trained and given resources to”
The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.
The plan promises action against men's violence against women and to continue the direction that has toughened penalties for violence in close relationships and strengthened women's shelters, which bears the counter-proposal's requirement for mapping of subsequent violence and action programmes.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan promises action against men's violence against women and to continue the direction that has toughened penalties for violence in close relationships and strengthened women's shelters, which bears the counter-proposal's requirement for mapping of subsequent violence and action programmes. The programme makes it society's absolute obligation to protect personal privacy, which speaks to closing gaps that reveal protected identities. The concept of subsequent violence does not exist in the documents, hence inferred coverage.
Original (Swedish)
Planen lovar krafttag mot mäns våld mot kvinnor och att fortsätta den riktning som skärpt straffen för våld i nära relationer och stärkt kvinnojourerna, vilket bär motförslagets krav på kartläggning av eftervåld och åtgärdsprogram. Programmet gör det till samhällets absoluta skyldighet att skydda den personliga integriteten, vilket talar för att luckor som röjer skyddade identiteter täpps till. Begreppet eftervåld finns inte i dokumenten, därav härledd täckning.
- stop violence against womendecisive»Krafttag för att stoppa hedersrelaterat våld, sexualbrott och mäns våld mot kvinnor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Action to stop honour-related violence, sexual crimes and men's violence against women.”
- protect personal privacy»Det är samhällets absoluta skyldighet att skydda friheten och den personliga integriteten« (party programme ↗)“It is society's absolute obligation to protect freedom and personal privacy”
- support for victims of violence»Vi vill fort sätta den politiska riktning som skärpt straffen för våld och andra kränkningar i nära relationer, och som ökat resurserna till kvinno- och tjejjourernas viktiga arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to continue the political direction that has toughened penalties for violence and other violations in close relationships, and has increased resources to women's and girls' shelters' important work.”

The election manifesto requires that victims of violence forced to hide are given stronger protection and that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the break.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto requires that victims of violence forced to hide are given stronger protection and that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the break. The party programme wants violence in close relationships to be handled quickly and in coordination between authorities and organizations. Mapping post-violence and closing gaps that reveal hidden identities is precisely the protection the plan requires.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet kräver att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig får starkare skydd och att ansvaret för skydd, boende och vård samordnas direkt efter uppbrottet. Partiprogrammet vill att våld i nära relationer hanteras snabbt och samordnat mellan myndigheter och organisationer. Att kartlägga eftervåld och täppa till luckor som röjer skyddade identiteter är precis det skyddet planen kräver.
- stronger protection for hidden violence victimsdecisive»att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att fler som utövar våld ska få fotboja.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that victims of violence forced to hide shall be given stronger protection and that more perpetrators shall be electronically monitored.”
- coordinated protection after break»skapa en dörr ut för våldsutsatta i hela landet, så att ansvaret för skydd, boende och vård samordnas direkt efter uppbrottet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“create a way out for victims of violence throughout the country, so that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the break.”
- quick and coordinated response to violence»Våld i nära relationer ska behandlas på ett snabbt,« (party programme ↗)“Violence in close relationships shall be handled quickly,”

The election manifesto explicitly states that post-conviction violence must be combated and end and that protection for families with protected identity must be strengthened.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto explicitly states that post-conviction violence must be combated and end and that protection for families with protected identity must be strengthened. The counter-proposal's requirement to map post-conviction violence and close gaps that reveal those with protected identity is precisely what the plan requires. The plan also wants to strengthen the victim's perspective and give victims better support.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet slår uttryckligen fast att eftervåldet ska bekämpas och upphöra och att skyddet för familjer med skyddad identitet ska stärkas. Motförslagets krav på att kartlägga eftervåldet och täppa till luckor som röjer våldsutsatta med skyddad identitet är därmed precis vad planen kräver. Planen vill dessutom stärka brottsofferperspektivet och ge den som utsatts bättre stöd.
- protection against post-conviction violencedecisive»Det är också viktigt att brottsoffer får bättre stöd och att eftervåldet bekämpas. Vi vill bland annat att elektronisk fotboja används oftare och stärka skyddet för familjer med skyddad identitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is also important that crime victims receive better support and that post-conviction violence is combated. We want, among other things, electronic tagging to be used more often and strengthen protection for families with protected identity.”
- post-conviction violence must end»Brottsofferperspektivet måste stärkas och eftervåldet upphöra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The victim's perspective must be strengthened and post-conviction violence must end.”
- protected identity in practice»Kvinnor med skyddad identitet ska enklare kunna byta efternamn på sina barn.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women with protected identity should find it easier to change the surname of their children.”
- stop men's violence»Vi ska leda Sverige mot ett slut på mäns våld mot kvinnor. Män som slår ska inte komma undan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We must lead Sweden towards an end to men's violence against women. Men who strike must not escape.”
The election manifesto demands increased decisiveness against violence towards women with better protection and support for victims and national support for sheltered housing, and the party programme makes victim support a main mission and targets efforts at perpetrators.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto demands increased decisiveness against violence towards women with better protection and support for victims and national support for sheltered housing, and the party programme makes victim support a main mission and targets efforts at perpetrators. Mapping post-violence and closing gaps that reveal protected identities is precisely such enhanced victim protection. The plan does not mention post-violence as a concept, so the support is derived.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet kräver ökad handlingskraft mot våld mot kvinnor med bättre skydd och stöd för offren och ett nationellt stöd för skyddade boenden, och partiprogrammet gör brottsofferstöd till ett huvuduppdrag och riktar insatserna mot förövarna. Att kartlägga eftervåld och täppa till luckor som röjer skyddade identiteter är precis ett sådant förstärkt offerskydd. Planen nämner inte eftervåld som begrepp, varför stödet är härlett.
- better protection for violence victimsdecisive»Vi vill se en ökad handlingskraft mot sexuellt våld och våld mot kvinnor genom bland annat högre straff för sexualbrott och ett bättre skydd och stöd för offren.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see increased decisiveness against sexual violence and violence towards women through, among other things, higher penalties for sexual crimes and better protection and support for victims.”
- crime victim support as main mission»Insatser för att stödja brottsoffer är ett huvuduppdrag för både rättsväsende och socialtjänst.« (party programme ↗)“Efforts to support crime victims are a main mission for both the justice system and social services.”
- focus on perpetrators»Insatserna för att förebygga och förhindra våld i nära relationer måste fokusera på förövarna.« (party programme ↗)“Efforts to prevent and stop violence in close relationships must focus on perpetrators.”

The plan requires that those exposed to violence in a close relationship be given adequate support and protection and that handling is effective with well-trained employees at police and social services, with society on the crime victim's side.

Reasoning and quotes
The plan requires that those exposed to violence in a close relationship be given adequate support and protection and that handling is effective with well-trained employees at police and social services, with society on the crime victim's side. To map follow-up violence and close gaps that reveal protected identities fulfills this, as does the requirement for strong integrity protection.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver att den som utsatts för våld i en nära relation ges adekvat stöd och skydd och att handläggningen är effektiv med välutbildade medarbetare hos polis och socialtjänst, med samhället på brottsoffrets sida. Att kartlägga eftervåld och täppa till luckor som röjer skyddade identiteter fullföljer detta, liksom kravet på ett starkt integritetsskydd.

The plan wants to strongly strengthen the crime victim's position, improve protection for witnesses and victims and give contact bans and electronic monitoring directly when a risk assessment shows need.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan wants to strongly strengthen the crime victim's position, improve protection for witnesses and victims and give contact bans and electronic monitoring directly when a risk assessment shows need. Mapping afterviolence and closing loopholes that expose people with protected identity is the same protection task. Therefore, the plan speaks for the counter-proposal's demands, although folk-register loopholes are not mentioned.
Original (Swedish)
Planen vill kraftigt stärka brottsoffrets ställning, förbättra skyddet för vittnen och brottsoffer och ge kontaktförbud och fotboja direkt när en riskbedömning visar behov. Att kartlägga eftervåld och täppa till luckor som röjer våldsutsatta med skyddad identitet är samma skyddsuppgift. Planen talar därför för motförslagets krav, även om folkbokföringsluckorna inte nämns.
- strengthened protection for crime victimsdecisive»Stärka skyddet för vittnen och brottsoffer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen protection for witnesses and victims of crime”
- protection against continued violence»Införa kontaktförbud och fotboja direkt för en man som utsätter en kvinna för våld, om en riskbedömning visar att det finns behov« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce contact bans and electronic monitoring directly for a man who subjects a woman to violence, if a risk assessment shows there is a need”
- crime victim at centre»Rättssamhället måste alltid stå på brottsoffrets sida.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The law-based society must always stand on the side of the crime victim.”
- support for violated women»Fortsätta stärka kvinnojourerna« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Continue to strengthen women's shelters”

The plan puts the crime victim first and wants to strengthen their position, improve opportunities for contact bans and establish an action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships, because crime victims today are forced to live in fear of meeting the perpetrator.

Att kartlägga eftervåld och täppa till luckor som röjer skyddade identiteter är precis sådana brottsofferskyddande åtgärder. Kravet stöds därför.
