Notes

  1. ↑ Tallinn-exclusive slogan.
  2. ↑ More literally "Confidently for the better!" or "Firmly for the better!" as parem could be translated as both "better" and "right".
  3. ↑ Tallinn-exclusive slogan.
  4. ↑ Includes support
  5. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 The MRP projection page states that "while both our poll weighting methodology (verified in EP elections) and MRP (validated by international pollsters) have a strong track record individually, their combination for Estonian local elections is still experimental. The ratings contain uncertainty ranges and the results should be interpreted as informed estimates, not precise predictions."
  6. ↑ Presumed mayoral candidate [2]
