There are four types of elections in Finland.[1] Each Finnish citizen at least 18 years of age has the right to vote in each of the elections, which decide the following: the president,[2] the parliament,[3] the MEPs,[4] and the municipal and city councils.
Finland has a presidential election every six years, in which a President of Finland is elected in two rounds on the basis of a direct popular vote.
Parliamentary elections are held every four years with a system of proportional representation in multiple seat constituencies. Finnish parliamentary elections use the D'Hondt method. Finland has a multi-party system wherein it is uncommon for a single party to achieve a majority in eduskunta; thus most Finnish governments consist of coalitions.
European Parliament elections are held every five years. Finland has 14 seats in the European Parliament.
Municipal elections are held every four years. Municipal elections are held separately in the Municipalities of Åland at the same time as the election of the Parliament of Åland. A new type of election, aluevaalit, was made by the Marin Cabinet in which determines the councils of each of the country's 21 welfare area. The first aluevaalit will be held in 2022.
