It is something like you have to be nominated by 20 registered
voters, but
your nominees have to actually be physically present when you
register.
Also, you have to pay a deposit and if you get 25% (I think) of a
quota of
votes, you get your deposit back.
In Finland registered parties may nominate in each district as many
candidates as there are seats. If you don't get any representatives
in two elections you will be kicked out from the party register. If
you collect 5000 names you'll get in. In addition to that
constituency associations may nominate individual candidates by
collecting 100 names.
