Case · public digital service

Vallokaler.org — a nationwide election information service built and operated by 3on.

A project first launched for the 2018 election and rebuilt for Sweden’s 2026 election: searchable polling-place information, automated data ingestion and a clear public-information experience designed to get people to the right answer quickly.

FocusFind the right place

Search and location information come before unnecessary steps.

The product challenge

A case that demonstrates more than website design.

Vallokaler.org combines information architecture, search, data integration, scheduled synchronisation, WordPress development, local SEO and one clear user task: find where to vote. It shows how 3on can own content, technology and the operational layer behind a service.

2018 → 2026

From an older election website to a modern data-driven service.

For 2026 the solution was rebuilt around its real core: current data and fast search. The service should update without manually importing thousands of records while remaining understandable to a person who simply wants to know where and when to vote.

01

Official open data

Integration with published Swedish Election Authority data for polling places and early voting, with the source clearly attributed.

02

Automated updates

Scheduled synchronisation keeps the local database current as source data changes.

03

Search and local information

Visitors move from a question to a relevant place without navigating a traditional institutional information hierarchy.

04

Custom WordPress solution

WordPress is the engine while theme, data logic, imports and the experience are built for this specific use case.

05

SEO and machine-readable structure

Clear pages, metadata and information architecture make the service easier to discover and understand beyond the homepage.

06

Long-term operation

This is not a one-off launch. The product can change between elections as data sources, requirements and user behaviour evolve.

Service flow

Source → sync → searchable service → user.

01Election Authority open data

Official polling and early-voting location data.

02Automated import and checks

Data is refreshed repeatedly instead of maintained manually.

03Search and information layer

Places and practical information become understandable to visitors.

04The right place, quickly

The outcome is a useful answer, not a demonstration of technical complexity.

What the case demonstrates

This is what we mean by a senior digital partner.

A public service with an external data source requires more than design. Data modelling, imports, error handling, source attribution, performance, information architecture, mobile use, SEO and operations have to work together. Companies face the same type of responsibility in internal systems, portals, websites and data-driven services.

Next engagement
