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[update]). 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.
