From the linked wiki (Åland)”Åland is a constituency represented in the Parliament of Finland. It covers the autonomous administrative region of Åland, with a population of 29,489 (as of 2017). It is the smallest constituency in Finland, and the only one that only elects one member of parliament. **The region is guaranteed a special status in Finnish law, whereby it will always have at least one representative even if its population would not entitle it to one.**
Åland is an electoral district of its own, electing one MP. Pirate Party and Blue Reform had more votes nationwide but didn’t have enough in any given electoral district to win a seat.
