About this statute

The section sets the election day for the 2021 municipal election, sets the term of office for the elected councils, and allows council members or other elected officials to leave office in June 2021 if they wish, with a written notice required by the end of April 2021. For the 2021 municipal election, the provision sets several election-law deadlines and timing rules, including dates for correction requests, voter register changes, advance voting, and a maximum four-day period for institution voting. The Ministry of Justice must pay municipalities a lump-sum compensation for the 2021 municipal elections, and the council must appoint certain municipal body members at a council meeting in August 2021. Lagen träder i kraft den 29 mars 2021.
