The vote was not held on the same day as an election. The municipality counted the votes in 6 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 options and the invalid votes add up to 4,484, but the municipality gives 4,481 voters. The difference is in the districts Väst (836 votes, 835 voters) and Sydost (751 votes, 749 voters).
The election committee examined four rejected early votes and accepted all of them (three yes and one no). They 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):
