Paper doi abstract bibtex Finnish voters express their preferences for specific candidates through preference voting. Individual candidates, therefore, have incentives to actively campaign for personal votes in addition to working towards winning votes for their parties. This chapter examines the variation in campaign styles among individual candidates at the constituency level in four Finnish parliamentary elections from 2007 to 2019. The analysis then delves into the factors that account for the differences in the level of campaign personalization across candidates. Data are from the international Comparative Candidates Survey (CCS), which collects data on the attitudes and behaviour of candidates running in national parliamentary elections. The findings reveal significant variations in campaign styles among the candidates. Some candidates adopt highly party-centred campaigns, while others focus more on candidate-centric approaches. Interestingly, campaigns appeared to have shifted towards greater party-centricity in the early 2010s, only to return to a more balanced mix of party-centred and candidate-centred campaigns by 2019. Although the magnitudes of the effects of explanatory variables are generally modest, one consistent finding emerges: elected local councillors are more likely to emphasize various campaign strategies.
