An electoral district shall comprise between 1 000 and 2 000 people entitled to vote. If there are special reasons, an electoral district may comprise less than 1000 or more than 2 000 people entitled to vote. An electoral district may only comprise less than 300 people entitled to vote if there are extraordinary reasons.

Upon the proposal of a municipal assembly, the county administrative board shall decide on the municipality’s division into electoral districts. The municipality shall view the division in the year immediately preceding the year when the general election to the Riksdag will be held.

If required, the county administrative board shall of its own volition decide on the division into electoral districts. Before the county administrative board makes such a decision, the municipal assembly shall be given an opportunity to express its views.
