An error margin of 2% in municipal elections ruled acceptable in Finland | EFFI.org

An error margin of 2% in municipal elections ruled acceptable in Finland | EFFI.org: "A report from the Council of Europe on 1 December 2008 stated that '[t]he Finnish electronic voting did not conclude in a way which satisfies the fundamental principles for democratic elections, in particular the principle of universal suffrage'. The Ministry of Justice performed an internal audit, and reported on 10 December that the audit found deficiencies in project management.

However, on the 29 January 2009, the Helsinki administrative court ruled that the elections satisfied the requirements of the Finnish election law, and therefore the municipal decisions to confirm the election results were not overturned."
