The centre-right National Coalition of outgoing Finance Minister Petteri Orpo came in second, with 17.2 percent of the advance ballots. The Centre Party of outgoing Prime Minister Juha Sipila scored third, with 15.4 percent.About 36 percent of voting-age Finns cast their votes in a seven-day advance voting period that ended on Tuesday.
