Åland Social Democrats

The Åland Social Democrats (Ålands Socialdemokrater) is a social-democratic political party on the Åland Islands. In the 2023 parliamentary election, the party won 12.82% of the popular vote and 4 out of 30 seats, a gain of one.

The current organisation was founded in 1971, although, there have been worker's associations on Åland since 1906. After the independence of Finland, the Åland Social Democrats were closer to the Swedish Social Democratic Party than the Social Democratic Party of Finland. After the Second World War, the social democrats fought the supporters of the far-left Finnish People's Democratic League for political dominance, which briefly became the largest political movement on the islands.
