Kauppalehti has launched its innovative European Parliament election tool to help voters make an informed decision on the upcoming elections on June 9. The tool allows voters to see which candidates and parties best align with their views by responding to 20 statements covering a range of topics including EU operations, foreign and security policy, environment and climate, and values.
Voters can answer the statements with options like “completely disagree”, “disagree”, “neutral”, “agree” or “completely agree” to get a more accurate result about the suitability of candidates. The tool displays the candidates and parties that best match the voter’s views, as well as a ranking of conservative-liberal and right-left axes on a value map.
The selection of candidates for the European Parliament elections is still ongoing, with the deadline for nominations on May 30. Early voting begins on May 29 and ends on June 4 in Finland, providing ample time for voters to make an informed decision. Kauppalehti’s election machine may continue to add candidates until the list is confirmed on May 10, ensuring that voters have access to the most up-to-date information.
With this tool, voters can gain a better understanding of where each candidate stands on important issues and make an informed decision when they go to the polls. It’s important for voters to take advantage of this valuable resource and use it to help them choose their candidate wisely.
