The collection district holds votes counted for the municipality but not per voting district, such as late postal votes. It therefore has no eligible voters or turnout.
About the referendum
The question was whether Sweden should join the common currency. Yes received the most votes only in Stockholm and Skåne counties, and Sweden kept the krona. Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, one of the leading voices for Yes, was murdered in the week of the vote.
All Swedish national referendums have been advisory. Parliament is not bound by the outcome.
