You can vote in advance in library
You can vote in advance in county and municipal elections in many of the Metropolitan area libraries. The advance voting period is from 2 to 8 April 2025 in Finland. You can vote in advance at any general advance polling station.
Residents of Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa are eligible to vote in the county elections. The residents of Helsinki will not vote in the county elections.
