Bilden visar väljare, fullmäktige och nämnder. Vem väljer ledamöterna i kommunens nämnder?
The diagram shows voters, council and committees. Who appoints municipal committee members?
Correct answer: The municipal council
The municipal council appoints committee members. Committees cover particular areas, such as education or culture, so different groups handle different responsibilities.
