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]
