Some Helsinki architecture

Election posters

Local elections took place across Finland in early April. Political parties do substantial outdoor advertising; in Railway Square, all of the registered parties had the opportunity to put up a poster listing the candidates on their list. Seen here, posters for three of the less popular parties: the SKP (one of the two communist parties), the Pirate Party, and the Liberal Party. (The candidates are numbered sequentially through all the lists, and the posters here appear to be sorted by candidate numbers — the numbers are listed on the ballot paper so voters can be sure they’re voting for the right Harri Virtanen.)
