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 reports neither the number of eligible voters nor the turnout.

Ballots without a mark (blank ballots) were counted as invalid, since the ballot had a separate option for abstaining.

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