About the referendum

Municipal referendums are advisory. The municipal council is not bound by the outcome.

The referendum was held after a citizens' initiative, a petition among the municipality's eligible voters.

The municipality does not report the number of eligible voters. The turnout is the municipality's own figure.

The municipality reports only the result for the municipality as a whole and no invalid votes. The options add up to the number of voters.

The figures are transcribed by hand from the municipality's report and checked against the source's totals and percentages. Sources (in Swedish):
