Swedes vote ‘No’ to euro

Published September 15, 2003

STOCKHOLM, Sept 14: Swedes voted “No” to the euro on Sunday, an exit poll showed, despite some last-minute gains for the “Yes” side after the murder of pro-euro Foreign Minister Anna Lindh.

The survey by SVT public television indicated that opponents of Sweden ditching the crown and becoming the 13th member of the European Union’s single currency had won 51.8 percent and supporters took 46.2 percent. About 2.0 percent voted blank.
