Two-stage presidential elections were held in Finland in 1982. The public elected presidential electors to an electoral college on 17 and 18 January. They in turn elected the President. The result was a victory for Mauno Koivisto the first member of the Social Democratic Party to be elevated to the country’s highest post and his election meant the full integration of Social Democrats into Finnish public life and an end to the postwar dominance of the Centre Party.
