Election day

The election day in parliamentary elections is the third Sunday in March.

If the President of the Republic has ordered that new parliamentary elections shall be held, the election day for the new elections is, as ordered by the President, at the earliest the first Sunday after 50 days and at the latest the first Sunday after 75 days from the time when the order to hold the new elections was published.

When the President has issued an order that new elections are to be held, the order shall, in addition to what is provided in section 67, subsection 3, be made public at least in the Finnish diplomatic and consular missions with public notices and, if necessary, in any other appropriate way.
