In Finland registered parties may nominate in each district as many  
candidates as there are seats. If you don't get any representatives  
in two elections you will be kicked out from the party register. If  
you collect 5000 names you'll get in. In addition to that  
constituency associations may nominate individual candidates by  
collecting 100 names.
