The need to vote at home in the upcoming presidential elections must be reported to the central election board of your home municipality no later than Tuesday of next week.
in Finland the voting activity of the most elderly in elections is low. Based on Statistics Finland's data, voting activity last year in the parliamentary elections fell sharply after the age of 80.
Elderly representative Päivi Topo reminds you that you can vote in advance at home if it is very difficult to go to the polling place due to impaired mobility.
The need to vote at home in the upcoming presidential elections must be reported to the central election board of your home municipality no later than Tuesday of next week. You can make the notification yourself or ask another person to do it on your behalf.
In home voting an election official arrives at the voter's place as agreed in advance and accepts the vote. A caregiver living in the same household can also vote at the same time under certain conditions. This must be mentioned when registering.
On the actual election day and in advance voting, a voter, such as an elderly person, can ask an assistant of their choice, such as a close relative, to help them at the polling station, if their own ability to mark the vote is substantially impaired. At the polling stations, it is also possible to get help from election assistants or election officials.
The first round of the presidential election is on Sunday, January 28.
