Come election time, all eyes are on undecided voters.

Such is the amount of floating voters in the next general election, the tabloid Iltalehti reports.

“THE TERM ‘floating voters’ means those people who are going to vote for a different party in the next election compared to the last one. This batch of floating voters, comprising over half a million Finns, is exactly the group that political parties will fight over the most in next spring’s general election.

According to a survey commissioned by Iltalehti from Taloustutkimus, most of the supporters of the parliamentary parties, 75 per cent, are party faithful, meaning that they intend to vote for the same party as last time. However, it is the battle over the floating voters which will decide the race.”
