Vad innebär att en kommunal folkomröstning är rådgivande?
What does it mean that a municipal referendum is advisory?
Correct answer: Politicians are not obliged to follow the result
The result expresses voters’ views but is not binding. Elected representatives remain responsible for the decision.

Why this option does not fit
Politikerna måste genomföra det vinnande alternativet
That describes a binding result. An advisory referendum leaves the decision with elected representatives.
Politikerna måste följa resultatet vid högt valdeltagande
High turnout does not make an advisory referendum legally binding.
Politikerna måste få resultatet godkänt av regeringen
Advisory means the result guides the municipality’s decision, not that the government must approve it.
