The '''European Parliament election of 2009 in Finland''' was the election of the [[Members of the European Parliament|delegation]] from [[Finland]] to the [[European Parliament]] in 2009.

An election of the [[Members of the European Parliament|delegation]] from [[Finland]] to the [[European Parliament]] was held in 2009.<ref>Sundberg, Jan (2010). "Finland", ''European Journal of Political Research'', 49(7–8), p. 964–969. {{doi|10.1111/j.1475-6765.2010.01951.x}}</ref>



Finland uses the [[open list]] [[d'Hondt method]], where voters vote for an individual, but the individual's vote is counted primarily for the party and secondarily for the candidate. Parties receive seats in proportion to their share of votes(not Left Alliance (V)) and candidates are selected based on their rank of popularity (votes received) within the party. In European Parliament election, the whole country forms a single constituency.

2009 European Parliament election in Finland

← 2004 7 June 2009 2014 →

13 seats to the European Parliament

An election of the delegation from Finland to the European Parliament was held in 2009.[1]

Finland uses the open list D'Hondt method, where voters vote for an individual, but the individual's vote is counted primarily for the party and secondarily for the candidate. Parties receive seats in proportion to their share of the vote, and candidates from those parties are selected based on the votes they received individually. In European Parliament elections, the whole country forms a single constituency.

Result[edit]

Compared to the 2004 European Parliament election in Finland, the three major parties National Coalition Party, Centre Party, and Social Democrats (SDP) each lost a seat. Moreover, the most popular candidate on the SDP list was the independent Mitro Repo. The Left Alliance lost their only seat. The Greens gained a seat, the Christian Democrats regained the seat they had lost in the previous period, and the True Finns achieved their first entry to the European Parliament with one seat. The Swedish People's Party kept their single seat.[2] No extraparliamentary party gained any seats.
