Parliamentary elections were held in Åland on 15 June 1925 to elect the 30 members of Parliament.

Electoral system

The 30 members of the Parliament of Åland were elected using a party list system. Voters could choose from 36 lists each containing three candidates nominated by individual electoral associations. A single candidate could appear on multiple lists. There were 42 candidates in total.[1]

Due to inaccuracies found in the documents submitted by the representatives of the voters' associations, the central committee rejected the applications, resulting in the election proceeding without any electoral alliances. The first candidate on a chosen list received one full vote, the second received half a vote, and the third received a third of a vote. Despite the lack of alliances, the overall voting system remained unchanged.[2]

Results

List 22, with Anders Viktor Strandfält as its first choice, followed by Julius Sundblom and Torsten Rothberg as its second and third choices respectively, received the highest number of votes (240). Sundblom appeared in the most number of lists (13) while Strandfält only appeared in one.[1]
