For the first time I voted in municipality election abroad. My advance polling station was the Embassy of Finland here in Brussels.

I was one of those 4000 Finns that are living here in Brussels. I felt this my duty to activate in this interesting elections. It is said that this time local elections are national in scope. Maybe the financial crisis is drawing people to polling stations.

I casted a vote to a candidate, who I believe to make a difference. I hope that she will get through being a decisionmaker in the city of Helsinki. There is a lot of do, when it comes to health and elderly care, funding proper education and giving aid for the economically disadvanteg person.
