New elections due to appeal 

If new elections are held due to an appeal, the election day of the new elections is:

1)  in parliamentary elections and elections to the European Parliament, the first Sunday after 50 days from the entry into force of the decision of the appellateauthority;

2)  in municipal elections, the Sunday determined by the central municipal election board. (563/2015)

The same electoral authorities conduct the new elections as the invalid elections. However, if the term of office of the central municipal election board has already expired, the new elections are conducted by the new central municipal election board having replaced the said committee.

In the new elections, the same voting district division is applied and the same legally valid voting register and the same master list of candidates are used as in the invalid election, unless the appellate authority otherwise orders in its decision. The Population Register Centre sends a new polling card to those who are included in the said voting register. Advance voting is conducted only in that electoral district or in that municipality that is subject to the decision on the new elections.

In other respects, the provisions on the regular elections apply, as appropriate, to the conduct of the new elections.

The members and councillors who have been elected in the invalid elections shall keep their posts until the results of the new elections have been confirmed.

The Parliament shall, without delay, be informed of the results of new parliamentary elections, and the local council of the municipality in question shall, without delay, be informed of the results of new municipal elections. (563/2015)
