Data have been collected by the Election Study Con- sortium from the year 2003 onwards. More information in the Finnish Election Study Portal. The data, collected through face-to-face interviews and self-administered questionnaires, allow study of changes in public opinion and democracy over time. Some modules are repeated but each study also contains questions on current issues. Main themes include political participa- tion, political attitudes, candidate and party choice, voting, and election campaigning. Abstract The survey consists of two parts which were collected after the 2003 parliamentary elections in Finland with the help of face-to-face interviews and a supplementary, self-administered ques- tionnaire. Swedish-speaking population is over-represented in the data. The interview data is Finland’s contribution to the international Comparative Study of Electoral Systems program (CSES). The survey charted the respondents’ participation in campaign activities, for instance, in elec- tion events. The respondents were asked how much they had followed the elections in different 2 1.3. Structure and collection of the data media and whether it made a difference who is in power. Some themes focused on respondents’ voting behaviour in the 1999 parliamentary elections. Opinions on the way democracy works in Finland, performance of the government and the party they voted for in the 1999 parliamen- tary elections were examined as well as perceptions on how well elections ensure that voters’ views are represented by MPs. Political party preference and attitudes to other parties were also studied. The respondents were asked to place different political parties on the left-right axis. Satisfaction with own financial situation and life in general, and expectations of the financial and employment situation of the respondent, his/her family and Finland in the future were ex- plored. The respondents’ factual political knowledge was charted with a few questions. They were also presented with a set of attitudinal questions on politics and voting. The respondents were asked whether they had voted in the 2003 parliamentary elections and if not, reasons for not voting. Those who had voted were asked about their party of choice, reasons for choos- ing that particular party and candidate and which one was more important to them: party or candidate. The supplementary, self-administered questionnaire charted opinions on current political issues. Sources of information relating to the election were charted. The respondents’ willingness and attitudes to social and political participation were also studied. The respondents were presented with general questions and statements pertaining to voting and society. Some topics focused on the effectiveness of election advertisements and different aspects that might have affected respondents’ voting decisions. Questions also covered Internet use, for instance, reasons for use, frequency and location. The respondents were asked whether they had followed things related to the elections, politics and society on the Internet and whether they had used candidate selectors / voting advice applications, contacted politicians via the Internet or e-mail or visited the web pages of public administration. Opinions on voting through the Internet were examined. Variables q19-q22, q51-q65_11, and q67-q80 are national election study variables, variables q23_1-q50 and q66 are CSES variables, variables beginning with ’p’ are self-administered ques- tionnaire variables, and the rest are background variables. Background variables included respondent’s age, gender, mother tongue, employment status, occupational group, household composition, income, basic and vocational education, area, re- gion and province of residence and type of municipality. 1.3 Structure and collection of the data Country: Finland Geographic coverage: Finland Analysis or observation unit type: Individual Universe: People aged 18 or over living in Finland, excluding the Åland Islands Collection date: 17.3.2003 – 15.5.2003 Data collector(s): TNS Gallup Finland Mode of data collection: Face-to-face interview, Self-administered questionnaire: Paper Type of research instrument: Structured questionnaire Time period covered:

  • Presidential Elections in Finland
    PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN FINLAND 22nd January and 5th February 2012 European Elections monitor Conservative, Sauli Niinistö, the major favourite in the Finnish Presidential Election from Corinne Deloy Translated by Helen Levy On 22nd January next, on the third Sunday in January, as is customary, just over 4.4 million Finnish are being called to ballot to appoint the successor to Tarja Halonen, as President of the Republic. Analysis The outgoing head of State, elected for the first time on 6th February 2000, cannot stand again, 1 month before since the Constitution does not allow the President of the Republic to hold office for more than two the poll consecutive terms. The presidential election is the most popular of votes in Finland. 300,000 people turn out for this election alone. On average turnout is around 80%, which is around 10 points over that normally recorded in the general elections. The Finnish like this election very much since it is much more personal than the general elections, in which they have to opt for a list of people and therefore more for a political party. If no candidate wins the absolute majority on 22nd January, a second round will take place on 5th February. According to Pekka Perttula, the editor in chief of the newspaper Suomenmaa, the presidential elec- tion on 22nd January and 5th February will be a turning point, as it was in January 1982. In that year Mauno Koivisto (Social Democratic Party, SPD) won, and this marked the end of the Centre Party’s predominance over Finnish political life; this was the start of a 30 year cycle of social demo- cratic presidency (Martti Ahtisaari (SPD) succeeded Mauno Koivisto on 6th February 1994 as head of state and Tarja Halonen succeed Martti Ahtisaari on 6th February 2000).
