Polling representatives 

Each party and constituency association nominating a candidate shall have a polling representative, and each polling representative shall have a deputy.

The polling representative of a party may not act as the polling representative of another party. The polling representative of a constituency association may not act as the polling representative of a party or another constituency association. The polling representative of a party or a constituency association may not be a member or a deputy member of a constituency electoral committee or a central municipal election board.

An application, notification or rectification referred to in this Act may, on behalf of the polling representative, be made by a person authorised in writing by the polling representative in question. The provisions of this Act on a polling representative of a party or constituency association apply, as appropriate, to his or her deputy.

A party and a constituency association shall notify the name, personal identity code and contact information of the polling representative of the party or the constituency association and his or her deputy to the constituency electoral committee of Helsinki on the 48th day before the election day at the latest.
