Two-stage presidential elections were held in Finland in 1978, the first since 1968 after Urho Kekkonen's term was extended by four years by Parliament. The public elected presidential electors to an electoral college on 15 and 16 January. They in turn elected the President. The result was a victory for Urho Kekkonen, who won on the first ballot. The turnout for the popular vote was 64.3. Kekkonen had in the spring of 1975 agreed to become the Social Democratic presidential candidate, and after that all the major Finnish political parties chose him as their candidate. Kekkonen's opponents, such as the Christian League's presidential candidate Raino Westerholm, claimed that Kekkonen's long presidency weakened the Finnish democracy. Over one-third of the Finnish voters abstained from voting,

  • Las elecciones presidenciales de Finlandia de 1978 se celebraron el 15 y 16 de enero para escoger al Presidente de la República para el período 1978-1984, luego de que el mandato de Urho Kekkonen fuera prorrogado por cuatro años por el Parlamento.​ Se debían elegir a los 300 miembros del Colegio Electoral, para que estos eligieran al presidente.​ Nueve partidos políticos apoyaron la candidatura de Kekkonen, no dejando ninguna oposición seria a su reelección.

La participación electoral fue del 64.2% del electorado.​ (es)

  • Двухэтапные президентские выборы состоялись в Финляндии в 1978 году, первые с 1968 года после того, как срок полномочий Урхо Кекконена был продлен парламентом на четыре года. Общественность избрала президентских выборщиков в коллегию выборщиков 15 и 16 января. Они в свою очередь избрали президента. Результатом стала победа Урхо Кекконена, который победил в первом туре голосования. Явка на всенародное голосование составила 64,3%. Кекконен весной 1975 года согласился стать социал-демократическим кандидатом в президенты, и после этого все основные политические партии Финляндии выбрали его своим кандидатом. Противники Кекконена, такие как кандидат в президенты Христианской лиги , утверждали, что долгое президентство Кекконена ослабило финскую демократию. Более трети финских избирателей воздерж (ru)
  • Presidentvalet i Finland 1978 kom att bli det sista då centerpartisten Urho Kekkonen återvaldes till president. Förutom av Centerpartiet så stöddes hans kandidatur även av socialdemokraterna, Samlingspartiet, kommunisterna i DFFF, Svenska folkpartiet och Liberala folkpartiet. Republikens president valdes år 1978 av 300 elektorer valda av valmanskåren. Redan i första omgången fick president Kekkonen tillräckligt med elektorer för ett återval, trots att en av hans 260 elektorer gav sin röst till Kristliga Förbundets kandidat Raino Westerholm. Därför blev det bara en valomgång. (sv)
