History

The municipality of Voll was established on 1 January 1874 when the old municipality of Eid og Voll was divided into the municipalities of Eid (population: 1,048) and Voll (population: 695). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Voll (population: 1,163) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Eid (population: 381), Grytten (population: 3,683), Hen (population: 1,663), and the southern part of Veøy municipality (population: 1,400) to form the new Rauma Municipality.[3][4]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Voll, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[5]

gollark: Which needs a CPU already.
gollark: Ah, but the issue is, your board may not *ship* with a BIOS update.
gollark: Buy some cheap DDR3 sticks, then save up and buy an R5 3600 (or equivalent), B450 (or B550, considering) board, and DDR4.
gollark: Hmm, that's quite good then.
