Uusimaa (parliamentary electoral district)
 | This article needs to be updated. (June 2011) |
Uusimaa is a Finnish constituency represented in eduskunta. It covers the administrative region of Uusimaa, excluding the capital city of Helsinki, which forms its own constituency. Uusimaa elects 36 members to eduskunta, which makes it the largest electoral district in the country.[1]
Even though the city proper is not part of the constituency, much of the area falls under the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area. The suburban cities Espoo and Vantaa account for half of its population of 1 million. The largest party in the 2011 election was the National Coalition Party, with the Social Democratic Party second. The Green League and Swedish People's Party gained vote share in excess of their national average.[2]
