YLE: Government’s electoral region plan would be a major change

THE GOVERNMENT of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP) has floated a re-think of the electoral system that would have had a tangible impact on the results of the previous parliamentary elections, reports YLE.

The government has outlined its intention to launch a parliamentary process to merge electoral districts with an especially high hidden vote threshold – the share of votes required to win a seat in parliament – into electoral regions.
