The history of the parishioners’ right to participate in and influence the choice of local
clergy in Sweden and Finland can be taken back as far as the late Medieval Times. The procedures for
electing clergymen are described in historiography as a specifically Nordic feature and as creating the
basis of local self-government. In this article the features of local self-government are studied in a
context where the scope for action was being modified. The focus is on the parishioners’ possibilities
and willingness to influence the appointment of pastors in the Lutheran parishes of the Russo-Swedish
borderlands in the 18th century. At the same time, this article will offer the first comprehensive presentation
of the procedures for electing pastors in the Consistory District of Fredrikshamn. The Treaty
of Åbo, concluded between Sweden and Russia in 1743, ensured that the existing Swedish law, including
the canon law of 1686, together with the old Swedish privileges and statutes, as well as the freedom
to practise the Lutheran religion, remained in force in the area annexed into Russia. By analysing the
actual process of appointing pastors, it is possible to discuss both the development of the local political
culture and the interaction between the central power and the local society in the late Early Modern
era.
