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 reports the result only for the municipality as a whole, not per election district, and not the number of eligible voters.

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):
