An Yle survey of MPs has found a majority back changing the law to enable people to be registered as resident in more than one municipality.
Any change would mean that people had the right to live and pay taxes in more than one place.
Despite strong support among MPs, many respondents highlighted the constitutional barriers to allowing multiple residency.
