Chapter 4
 

The division into constituencies shall, after the municipalities within the county council have been given an opportunity to express their views, be determined by the county council assembly no later than 31 October in the year preceding the election year when the new division shall apply for the first time. To enter into force the decision must be approved by the county administrative board.


The Government or the authority that decides on alterations to the division of Sweden into county councils or municipalities may, if necessary, determine that a decision on the division into constituencies may be made later than on the date referred to in the first paragraph.
