Sunday was held referendums on municipal amalgamation in five municipalities in Nordland and Troms, who all said no to the merger.
Also last Monday was billed as a super Monday, when 32 municipalities voted on the merger. 21 of them said no, something civic Minister Jan Tore Sanner (H) would not call a defeat.
– There came a lot of good news Monday. 22 municipalities said yes and 27 municipalities said no when you see the results of referendums and citizen surveys collected, said Sanner.
Sanner has been clear that the referendum is not binding and only be used as one of several advice when municipal councils take their decision.
ultimately, it is Parliament that will draw the new municipal map, which is scheduled to take place next spring. They will also rely on the advice of the country’s county governors, who are in full swing with draw their own maps over which of the county’s municipalities they believe should merge.
Turnout in Monday’s referendum was very low multiple places, and in some places was the way down to the 20th century.
