The vote was not held on the same day as an election. The municipality counted the votes in 43 referendum districts of its own, so there is no map.
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 ballot had only the options yes and no. All other votes are reported as invalid.
Early votes sent to the wrong place, which could not be counted in the right district, are reported as a collection district.
The figures are transcribed by hand from the municipality's report and checked against the source's totals and percentages. Sources (in Swedish):
