In Finland, polling is underway for general elections. Over 1.5 million voters have already given their pre-vote. Altogether 19 parties are running in the election, with eight of them holding seats in the Parliament now, ranging from the environmentalist Green party to the Feminist party founded two years ago.
The first results are due tonight. In the 200-member Parliament, 101 seats are needed to form the government.
The Social Democrats are widely tipped to become the largest party, but under the country’s proportional representation system, they may have to form a coalition with several other parties.
