> Swedes are voting in a close general election that could see the far-right Sweden Democrats enter government for the first time if the right-wing bloc wins. A centre-left coalition led by Social Democrat Magdalena Andersson could instead return to power. About eight million people are eligible to vote, with polls closing at 8pm.
