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 votes were counted in the same voting districts as the election, and the map shows the election's district boundaries.
The municipality does not report the number of eligible voters. The turnout is the municipality's own figure, rounded to whole per cent.
The municipality gives 14,620 voters, but the options and the invalid votes add up to 14,610.
The figures are transcribed by hand from the municipality's report and checked against the source's totals and percentages. Sources (in Swedish):
