Holding municipal and regional elections simultaneously caused a slew of problems at polling stations, according to election workers interviewed by Helsingin Sanomat.
“Visa Salokoski, who served as chair of the Järvensivu polling station board in Tampere for the fifth time, said voters required more guidance on election day than in previous elections.
“There were many more voters than before who felt they had made a mistake and asked for a new ballot,” Salokoski said.
She said election workers expected some rejected ballots due to confusion but were surprised by how many were filled out incorrectly.”
