Voting has started in Finland as part of the general election. The Finnish Election Commission announced that the ballot boxes opened at 09:00 local time will close at 20:00. In the election, members of the 200-seat parliament will be determined.
CHOICE IS CRITICAL
The Finnish people attach great importance to this election for the expected recovery in the country’s economy, as well as the security that has come to the fore due to the Russia-Ukraine War.
It is stated that the number of voters in Finland, where the population is approximately 5 million 600 thousand, is 4 million 546 thousand.
EYES TURNED INTO THE WEEK
The final results of the election are expected to be announced on April 5, according to the Ministry of Justice.
Experts draw attention to the difficulty of predicting which of the three parties with very close votes will be ahead in the 2019 elections.
Recent polls show the National Coalition Party will receive 20.8 percent of the vote, the Social Democratic Party 19.9 percent and the nationalist True Finns 19 percent.
40 percent of registered voters participated in the early voting, which was completed on March 22-28 in various regions of the country.
