Legislative elections were held in Åland on 18 October 1987 to elect members of the Landstinget. The 30 members were elected for a four-year term by proportional representation.
Three new parties participated in the elections; the conservative Non-aligned Coalition, the separatist Free Åland and the environmentalist Greens on Åland. After the next election in 1991, only the Non-Aligned Rally would still be active.
Following the elections, a change in the constitution provided for the establishment of a majority government.[1] As a result, the Åland Centre, Liberals for Åland and Freeminded Co-operation parties formed a coalition government.[1]
