A completely (un)ordinary election day in Helsinki
(OSCE 'Organisation pour la sécurité et la coopération en Europe' Mission in Montenegro facilitated the visit) A gloomy, cloudy day. As I think about whether I need a coat, raindrops on the window make the choice easier. I go out, it's a completely ordinary day on the street, nothing says that there are elections, European elections. I'm thinking, it's raining, boring raining with wind, there won't even be people at the polling stations (PS), which we'll observe. Turnout will be low again.
