Right to vote in advance 

Every eligible voter may vote in advance at the general advance polling stations in Finland and in the Finnish diplomatic missions abroad. 

An eligible voter who is in hospital, in a facility with round-the-clock treatment or another operational unit of social services designated by the local executive as an advance polling station or in a penal institution may vote in advance in the said institution. An eligible voter who is a member of the crew on a Finnish ship may vote in advance on board the ship while it is in foreign waters.

Eligible voters whose ability to move or function is limited to the degree that they are unable to come to the polling or advance polling station without undue difficulty may, under the provisions of section 55, vote in advance at their home in Finland in that municipality which has been entered in the voting register as their municipality of residence. An informal caregiver referred to in the Act on Support for Informal Care (937/2005) of a person entitled to vote at home, living in thesame household, may also vote at home, if the municipality in question is entered in the voting register as the informal caregiver's municipality of residence.
