Deputy Members of Parliament 

The deputy representative of a Member of Parliament is the first candidate who was not elected from the party or from the joint list which the elected Member represented, or if there was an electoral alliance, the first candidate who was not elected from the said electoral alliance which the elected Member represented.

If there is no other way to appoint a deputy Member of Parliament, the deputy Member is the first candidate who was not elected in the name list referred to in section 91.

If a deputy Member becomes a Member of Parliament or for some other reason is no longer available, the constituency electoral committee shall appoint a new deputy Member for the said Member in compliance with the provisions of subsections 1 and 2.

If a parliamentary seat becomes vacant in the electoral district of Åland and there is no such deputy member as specified in subsections 1 and 2, new parliamentary elections shall, without delay, be held in the said electoral district. The Ministry of Justice determines the time of the election and issues a public notice of it. Advance voting is conducted only in the electoral district of Åland.
