Elections

Folk utanför stadtshuset

Finland has three general national elections: parliamentary election and municipal election take place at four-year intervals, whereas the presidential election is held at six-year intervals. In addition to the above, the European Parliament election takes place at five-year intervals.

Next in line in Finland is the municipal election, which will take place in April 2021.

The Central Election Committee, aided by the City of Vantaa election commission, is responsible for arranging elections in Vantaa.

You will find your polling place on the map, based on your home address, online at: www.aanestyspaikat.fi (the service is available only around election time).

If you are unsure about your polling place or right to vote, do not hesitate to contact the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (tel. 0295 535 530).
