Parliamentary elections were held in Åland on 15 June 1937 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 49 lists each containing one or two candidates nominated by individual electoral associations. Electoral associations could form alliances with other lists resulting in three individual electoral alliances. A single candidate could appear on multiple lists and alliances. For example, Julius Sundblom appeared on all 29 lists of the Electoral alliance no. 2 (Valförbund N:o 2), on two lists of the Electoral alliance of fishermen, seamen and small farmers (Fiskar-, sjöfolkets och småbrukarfolkets valförbund) and on three additional lists outside of any alliance.^[1]

Results

Julius Sundblom's seat is counted towards Electoral alliance no. 2, as he received the majority of his votes from lists associated with that alliance.
