It’s now the children and young people’s turn to have their say – the exciting Osbu vote has begun!
The participatory budgeting process for children and young people in Tuusula has reached its climax with the voting phase, which began today, 6 May. Over the next two weeks, children and young people will be able to cast their votes in early years education settings, schools and open voting workshops. The eagerly awaited voting results will be announced on 22 May at 13:00 during a live broadcast.
This time, the participatory budgeting round in Tuusula is dedicated to children and young people. During the voting phase, which is now underway, all Tuusula residents under the age of 18 and pupils attending schools in Tuusula will have a say in which proposals are implemented. The proposals up for vote have been drawn up from ideas collected from children and young people.
Voting takes place during the voting period (from 10:00 on 6 May 2026 to 21:00 on 20 May 2026) on Tuusula’s participation platform, osallistu.tuusula.fi, by logging in with the MPASSid credentials provided by schools or via strong authentication. In early years education, votes from younger children are collected by adults, and in schools, voting takes place together during lessons.
There is also the option to vote at the open OSBU voting workshops, where workshop leaders are on hand to assist with the voting process. Voters attending the workshops should be prepared to present their ID card for verification purposes.
