Advance voting period 

The advance voting begins on the 11th day before the election day and ends abroad on the 8th day and in Finland on the 5th day before the election day. However, on board a Finnish ship the advance voting may, with the exception of the second round of the presidential election, begin already on the 18th day before the election day. 

A general advance polling station in Finland is open for advance voting on all days during the time period referred to in subsection 1, unless for special reasons otherwise determined by a decision of the local executive.

The period of time allowed for advance voting in Finnish diplomatic missions and their offices may, as provided by government decree, be shorter than what is provided in subsection 1.
