In cases referred to in Section 11, the central election authority shall request information from the competent authority in the home state of the EU citizen as to whether they have become ineligible to be elected in their home state.

If a competent authority in another Member State requests information from the central election authority as to whether a Swedish citizen who wishes to stand for election to the European Parliament in the other state has become ineligible to be elected in Sweden, the central election authority shall, as soon as possible and no later than five working days from the date the request was received, supply information to the requesting authority regarding the candidate’s eligibility in elections to the European Parliament in Sweden.
