The next Finnish parliamentary election will be held on or before the third sunday of April 2015. 200 members will be elected to the Finnish Parliament.
Background
Jyrki Katainen's cabinet
The incumbent government is formed by a six party coalition, composed of the National Coalition Party, Social Democratic Party, Left Alliance, Green League, Swedish People's Party and the Christian Democrats as well as the MP for Åland.
On 22 June 2011, the parliament elected Katainen as prime minister by a vote of 118–72; two Left Alliance MPs voted against Katainen, for which they were formally reprimanded by the Left Alliance parliamentary group. They were subsequently expelled from the group, reducing the government majority from 126 MPs to 124.
Changes in the electoral districts
In 2013 the parliament decided to merge certain electoral districts in order to create larger districts: the electoral districts of Northern Savonia and Northern Karelia will be merged into a new district called Savonia-Karelia, while the electoral districts of Kymi and Southern Savonia will be merged into a new district called South-Eastern Finland.
Opinion Polling
Yle Polls
The opinion polls for the Finnish national broadcasting company Yle are conducted by the polling company Taloustutkimus.
