The vote was not held on the same day as an election. The municipality counted the votes in 12 referendum districts of its own, so there is no map.

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

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 early votes were counted separately and are shown here as a collection district. The municipality reports invalid votes per district only for the early votes (17 of 60).

The election committee corrected summation errors in the result on 18 December 2025. The figures here are the corrected ones.

The municipality's percentages are calculated on all voters, including invalid votes. Here the shares are calculated on valid votes.

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