Delimitation of constituencies
Question:Are constituencies delimited for election purposes?
Answer: b. No, existing regional/provincial/other boundaries are used
Comments: For elections to the legislative body, the constituencies are drawn based on the existing provinces and municipalities, each province (apart from Helsinki which is only one municipality) containing multiple municipalities forming the different constituencies. For presidential and European elections, all of the country is one single constituency.
