Registering as the representative of an electoral coalition
Inform the election coordinator (vaalit@hyy.fi) that you will be acting as the representative of electoral coalition x. The election coordinator will create a representative account for the coalition’s representative to help them administer the coalition. Before receiving the account, however, each representative of an electoral coalition must first undergo short training on using the system with the election coordinator, through Zoom, for instance. Once the electoral coalition has been added into the system, candidates will be able to register as its candidates.
