The platform will be activated shortly and International Officers will be given administrative rights to upload draft resolutions upon registration on this platform or can use their access codes from previous years.

Delegations
Delegation lists will close at 12:00 CET on Friday 20 June.
After this point, changes can only be made in the statutory exceptional cases of flight cancellation, sickness, or unforeseen political developments. In such cases, please contact the ALDE Party Secretariat immediately events@aldeparty.eu
Failure of the International Officer to assign all voting rights by this deadline will result in that delegation being unable to exercise unallocated votes.

Voting
The voting platform will be accessible through the ALDE Party App
More information and technical assistance - if needed - will be provided during the event.
What if I hold a proxy vote?
If you have been allocated a vote and a proxy voting right by your member party, after logging in with your personal credentials, your vote will count twice.
Voting rights were programmed into the system following the deadline on Friday 20 June to submit voting lists.
Non-EU members may not together vote in any body or committee of the Association for a number of votes exceeding one third of the number of votes cast in each ballot. When applicable, non-EU member votes shall be subject to proportional reduction in the calculation of the results of the relevant ballot.

CoUNCIL venue
The ALDE Party Council will take place in Helsinki, at the Clarion Hotel Helsinki.
Transport from Helsinki Airport to Clarion Hotel Helsinki
From Helsinki Airport, take the train (I or P line) to Helsinki Central Station (approx. 30 min). From there, transfer to tram number 9 towards Jätkäsaari and get off at Clarion Hotel (Stop: Huutokonttori). A taxi or ride-hailing service takes around 30 minutes directly from the airport.
Getting to the City Center from the COUNCIL VENUE
To reach Helsinki city centre, take tram 7 or 9, both of which connect to the central area. Alternatively, you can have a 25-minute walk along the waterfront, passing through lively neighbourhoods and historic sites.
Nearby Points of Interest
The hotel is located in Jätkäsaari, a modern waterfront district. Nearby attractions include the West Harbour, the iconic Löyly Sauna, and Hietalahti Market Hall, known for its fresh food stalls and restaurants.
Recommended Restaurants
For a great dining experience, consider Ravintola Merimakasiini (renowned for seafood), Farang (offering modern Asian cuisine), and BasBas (a cozy wine bar & bistro with a fantastic atmosphere). All are highly rated and popular among both locals and visitors.
Accommodation
As usual, we strongly recommend our Delegates to book their accommodation as soon as possible to secure the best rates and availability. End of June is considered already high season in Helsinki due to long summer days, festivals, and high tourist demand. Hotels tend to fill up quickly during this peak season.
