RAIVAAJA is a not-for-profit publication owned by the Finnish American community. It strives to keep its readership informed in Finnish and in English about happenings in Finland and in Finnish communities all over the world. This kind of information is not usually found in the mainstream American press. Our Raivaaja staff believes publishing to be the most important way to transmit knowledge of our ethnic history and culture from one generation to the next. Publishing is also the vital way to communicate current events and issues concerning the future of our Finnish- American cultural activities. RAIVAAJA provides a forum for this dialog. Important Notice!
2012 Finnish Presidential Election: Advance Voting in the United States and Canada
Finnish citizens eligible to vote in the
2012 presidential election can cast their votes January 11-14 and, in a
potential second round, January 25-28. A Finnish citizen, who has reached the age of 18 by the day of the election, is entitled to vote in the Presidential Election. The voters are required to present valid photo identification to the election officer. It is also good to bring along the notice of the right to vote. The Population Registration Centre sends to all Finnish citizens whose address is registered in the Population Information System a notice of their right to vote. Advance polling stations are open in 91 countries at Finnish diplomatic missions or other authorized locations. The number of advance polling stations is higher than in previous elections. More information on the election is available at vaalit.fi. Vaalit.fi can also be found on
Facebook.
