This is a pretty big task. SPAR is the national census and enables to get a person's name and address (structured with information on the commune and the region) through a SOAP API.

I will keep updating the subtasks here:

• ask for access to the test environment - Done and gotten
• ...
• buy a server certificate. The documentation mentions that only this provider is accepted so the price will be 3500SEK (how do you say racket in Swedish?). There is a test certificate here though...

Right now, the website just uses the e-mail address as an identifier.

In Sweden, it is usual to use your personnummer. This would make it easier to check people's identity and would be a good first step if the platform is to support SPAR and BankID as an authentication/e-voting method in the future.

This task can actually be divided in the following actions:

• add a new column to the User model
• add a field during the sign up process.
• add a field in the profile page
• allow users to login with their personnummer.
• fix all the tests!

The changes to the verification process are a bit heavier and will be done in another task (probably related to SPAR)

More info here.

BankID would be really interesting to automatically verify that an individual is the one behind the personnummer they're using to get verified. Alternatives are to use an ID picture as other cities do and that possibility will remain for people that don't have BankID.
For those that have it, voting through BankID would provide an additional (but not critical) layer of security.
