| 520 | _a"Yleiskatsaus äänioikeusasiaan Suomessa by Santeri Ivalo" is a political pamphlet written in the late 19th century. The book examines the suffrage question in Finland, arguing that existing voting arrangements are unjust and outdated, and calls for broader, fairer participation in public life. The author opens with Finland’s rapid 19th‑century progress and the ensuing “backlash,” then surveys, in turn, rural municipal elections, rural elections to the peasants’ estate, urban municipal elections, urban elections to the burghers’ estate, and church elections. He shows how property-based and weighted voting (with multiple votes tied to tax payments) lets a small, wealthy minority overrule majorities, how indirect elections dampen civic engagement, and how high tax thresholds exclude many workers entirely. He demands immediate, practical reforms within the four-estate system: extend the franchise in the countryside to all tax‑paying, reputable residents; abolish indirect elections; set a clear, low suffrage threshold; and replace all vote-scaling with equal voting—“one man, one vote.” He identifies reform of the burghers’ estate as pivotal for broader change, supports curbing wealth-based dominance in church elections, and reinforces his case with stark numerical examples showing how little of the nation truly holds power. He concludes that equal suffrage is both a question of justice and a national necessity to strengthen unity and self-government. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
