Parliamentary elections were held in Åland on 15 June 1945 to elect the 30 members of Parliament.

Electoral system

The 30 members of the Parliament of Åland were elected using a proportional party list system. Voters could choose from 54 lists each containing one or two candidates. Electoral associations could form alliances with other lists resulting in four individual electoral alliances.[1] A single candidate could appear on multiple lists or alliances. For example, both Ålanders' electoral alliances filled their lists with unique candidates as the first choice, while a general candidate was placed as the second choice. In this case, Julius Sundblom served as the general candidate for Ålanders' electoral alliance no. 1, and Tor Brenning for Ålanders' electoral alliance no. 2.[2]
