Kymi (parliamentary electoral district)

Kymi was an electoral district represented in the Finnish Eduskunta (parliament). It covered the administrative regions of South Karelia and Kymenlaakso in south-eastern Finland, with a combined population of about 322,000 (as of 2002). Kymi elected 12 members of the Eduskunta. In 2013, the district was merged with Southern Savonia to form the new Southeast Finland district.[1][2]

The constituency was largely urban and traditionally working-class. The largest party in the 2003 election was the Social Democratic Party of Finland.
