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.

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

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):
