Formáli I þessu riti birtir Hagstofa íslands skýrslur um sveitarstjórnar- kosningamar 1998 og um kosningar um sameiningu sveitar- félaga milli sveitastjómarkosninganna 1994 og 1998. Hagstofan hefur tekið saman skýrslur um sveitarstjómar- kosningar frá árinu 1930 og lengst af birt í Hagtíðindum. Frá og með sveitarstjómarkosningunum 1990 em þær gefnar út sérstaklega sem hluti af Hagskýrslum íslands. Skýrslan um sveitarstjómarkosningamar 1998, sem hér birtist, er áþekk skýrslunni um kosningamar 1994. Auk inngangs um löggjöf, framkvæmd kosninga, framboð, kosningaþátttöku og fleira em töflur um kosningamar mun fýllri og sundurliðaðri en áður var. Skýrslurnar um sveitarstjómarkosningamar em reistar á skýrslum sem sveitarstjómir láta Hagstofunni í té á þar til gerðum eyðublöðum. Eins og nánar er fjallað um í inngangi er mjög misjafnt hversu sveitarfélögin leggja sig fram við skýrslugerðinga. Þótt flestar skýrslur séu vel gerðar eru aðrar slakar og þarf því stundum að leiðrétta þær og áætla í eyður. Á Hagstofunni hefur Guðni Baldursson séð um gagna- söfnun, úrvinnslu og gerð þessarar skýrslu, en Sigurborg Steingrímsdóttir annast umbrot ritsins. Hagstofu íslands í mars 1999 Hallgrímur Snorrason Preface This publication contains reports compiled by Statistics Iceland on the local govemment elections held in 1998 and elections carried out between local government elections of 1994 and 1998 on the amalgamation of municipalities. Statistics Iceland has compiled reports on local govem- ment elections since 1930. These have been published in Monthly Statistics up to the report on the elections in 1990, which was issued separately as a part of the series Statistics oflceland. The present report on the 1998 local govemment elections is similar to the 1994 report in containing consid- erably more detailed statistics than earlier reports on the subject. In addition to an introduction describing legislation concerning local govemment elections, election procedure, candidature and participation, the statistical tables on various features of the elections give fuller detail and analysis than before. The statistics are based on data supplied on special forms to Statistics Iceland by the local councils themselves. In most cases these forms have been carefully filled in, while some are of poorer quality and have had to be corrected for errors and omissions. For this reason, parts of the statistical tables are based on estimates. For Statistics Iceland, Guðni Baldursson has been in charge of the data collection, processing and compiling of this report while the layout was in the hands of Sigurborg Steingrímsdóttir.
