The Population Register Centre shall see to it that the polling cards are sent at least 24 days prior to the polling day to the persons with a known address who have the right to vote.

Section 23 ? Inspecting the information in the voting register
With the exception of the personal identity code, the information in the voting register referred to in section 18(2) and (3) shall be displayed for inspection at local register offices and may be obtained free of charge via telephone from there and, as determined by the Population Register Centre, also at other locations during office hours on working days from 41 days prior to the polling day onwards.
Section 29 ? Use of the voting register
As provided in Chapters 5 and 6, when and where an enfranchised person has voted shall be entered into the voting register. The entry may be made by an election official of a general advance polling station in Finland, the chairperson of the election commission, the election committee, the municipal central election committee or by the local register office at the request of the central election committee. If the entry is found to be incorrect, it may only be
corrected by the municipal central election committee or, at its request, by the local register office.
The entries relating to voting shall not be made public until after the voting on the polling day has ended. If a second round is conducted in the Presidential election, the entries relating to the voting in the first round of the election do not become public until the voting on the polling day of the second round has ended.
