Åland representation in the Parliament of Finland

Åland is represented by a single seat in the Parliament of Finland. While the rest of the parliament is elected by proportional representation in multi-member constituencies, Åland forms its own single-member constituency. Elections for Åland’s representative therefore follow a first-past-the-post (FPTP) model.

If the Åland seat becomes vacant, a replacement is selected using the d'Hondt method. If no replacement candidate is available, a new election must be held. In other elections, such as presidential elections or elections to the European Parliament, Finland, including Åland, forms a single electoral district.
