2024 European Parliament election in Finland

Finland component of the 2024 European Parliament election


The 2024 European Parliament election in Finland will be held on 9 June 2024 as part of the 2024 European Parliament election.[1][2] This will be the seventh European Parliament election held in Finland, and the first to take place after Brexit.

Electoral system

Compared to last election, Finland is entitled to two more MEPs: one already assigned in 2020 in the occasion of the redistribution post Brexit, and one assigned in 2023 after a pre-election assessment of the Parliament composition based on the most recent population figures.[3] The 15 members are elected through open list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with seats allocated through D'Hondt method and no electoral threshold.[4]

Both Finnish citizens and other non-Finnish EU citizens residing in the country are entitled to vote in the European elections in Finland. No registration is needed for Finnish citizens, while other EU citizens residing in Finland are required to register with the Digital and Population Data Services Agency by 21 March 2024 at the latest. Finnish citizens residing abroad can also vote without any prior registration and can choose to vote by post or in the Finnish embassy of their country of residence. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest.[5]
