Coat of arms of Jokkmokk
Jokkmokk’s arms place three blue lightning bolts, a red key and two red drumsticks on a silver field.
Swedish description in the Heraldica record
I fält av silver tre blå blixtar i trepass varöver en röd nyckel och åtföljda av två röda trumpinnar.
This is the Swedish description in the Heraldica record. Its status as an official blazon has not been independently verified here. The municipality’s graphic profile confirms that the arms form part of its logo but does not explain the motifs.

What the municipal source says
Jokkmokk’s graphic profile says the municipal logo consists of the arms and the municipality’s name in Swedish, Lule Sámi and Northern Sámi. It does not explain the motifs’ history or symbolism, so no such explanation is presented as fact here.
