Posten AB, announced yesterday that it has agreed to sell the operations of Swedgiro AB. Swedgiro AB, the wholly owned subsidiary of Posten, Sweden’s national postal service organization, operates in Poland and the Baltic rim countries. The business operations in Poland will be taken over by the company’s management team. The business operations in the Baltic rim countries will be taken over by Finland’s national postal service organization. Swedgiro provides combinations of conventional and electronic mail services. Posten will realize a capital gain on the transaction.

In conjunction with the referendum on whether Sweden will adopt the euro, Posten is offering postal voting at more than 1,500 voting stations across the country between August 27 and September 14. Posten has handled early voting since 1942. Postal voting has accounted for roughly one-third of the ballots cast in the previous four elections. Like the 2002 general elections, the orange hand symbol will be visibly displayed at all postal voting stations.
