Vote for your favourite – residents of Pori decide how 60 000 € will be used
Earlier this year, residents shared ideas on what the city should do with 60 000 euros to increase people meeting each other. The city has prepared proposals based on the ideas and now residents get to vote on which ideas will be implemented.
You can vote online or on paper at all Pori libraries and at the central swimming hall. Voting is open until 27 May. One resident can vote for up to three proposals.
There is a total of 14 proposals. Proposals are:
- Film Day (10 500 €)
- Heavy metal night at Cultural House Annis (40 000 €)
- Street floorball and/or street basketball tournament (15 000–25 000 €)

The city will implement the proposals that receive the most votes and fit within the 60 000 euros budget. The winning proposals will be implemented during years 2026–2027.
The voting is part of the With Love for Pori participatory budgeting process. Participatory budgeting is a process in which residents propose ideas and decide, through voting, how a specific sum of money will be used.
