Marttila received 4,171 votes in the 2023 Finnish parliamentary election and was placed in the first reserve position.[2] However, she immediately became an MP for the 2023–2027 parliamentary term, when Miapetra Kumpula-Natri continued in the European Parliament until the end of the parliamentary term.[3] After the 2024 European Parliament elections, Marttila continued as an MP despite Kumpula-Natri returning to Parliament, when MP Maria Guzenina was granted a seat in the European Parliament.[4]
