The referendum was held after a citizens' initiative, a petition among the municipality's eligible voters.

The municipality's results per election district were in a separate file that no longer exists. Only the result for the municipality as a whole is shown here.

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