This footage shows Finnish citizens voting in the European elections on a ferry in the archipelago of Kemiönsaari in Finland on June 4, 2024. The ferry m/s Stella, which acts as the voting place, sails from Kasnäs to Taalintehdas (Dalsbruk). The ferry stops in multiple islands whose inhabitants may vote on the ferry. The European elections take place in Finland on June 9, 2024, but the advance voting period enables citizens to cast their ballots before election day. During the advance voting period, eligible voters may vote at any of the general advance polling stations in Finland or abroad. To make voting accessible, polling stations are also set up in busses and ferries in sparsely populated areas. In total, Finnish citizens elect 15 Members of the European Parliament. European Parliament decides on new laws that influence all aspects of life across the European Union.

Democracy is a precious gift passed on to us from previous generations. They aspired towards it and fought for it. Now it is up to us to maintain it, to make it stronger and pass it on to the generations to come.
