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 reports the districts by the name of the polling station. They are linked to the election districts Tibro 1 to 6 by the number of eligible voters, which are the same as in the 2018 municipal election according to the Election Authority.
The municipality's table gives 1,732 eligible voters for Nyboskolan, but the total of 8,626 and the Election Authority's electoral roll for the district Tibro 2 give 1,735. The figure 1,735 is used here.
Blank and invalid votes are reported together.
The figures are transcribed by hand from the municipality's report and checked against the source's totals and percentages. Sources (in Swedish):
