Electoral system

Election posters in Oulu

Finland uses an open list system when voting . The order of the candidates is not determined by the parties. The voters vote for a candidate, not a party. To determine the number of seats allocated to a party, the votes of all candidates of a party are added together. The D'Hondt method is used for this. Lists can be linked together so that the votes of the parties are added together when allocating seats. Within a party, the seats are then awarded to the candidates with the most votes.
