Lagradarn, which was launched in early 2025, enables the use of Lakitutka also in the other official language of Finland: Swedish. Translated with the assistance of the Åbo Akademi Institute for Human Rights, the service offers a comprehensive overview of the legislative process and gives more and more people the opportunity to follow how societal decisions are made. Lagradarn therefore supports the democratization of the legislative process as well as the realization of the linguistic rights of Swedish-speaking people.
