Time
The flag is flown from 8 AM to sunset; however, even in summer at most to 9 PM. There are three exceptions:
- on Midsummer the flag is flown from 6 PM on Midsummer Eve to 9 PM on Midsummer Day
- on Independence Day the flag is flown from 8 AM to 8 PM.
- on election days, if the election goes on after sunset, the flag is flown from 8 AM to 8 PM
