– This evening exam is certainly one of the most challenging, because it is a two-hour evening exam from 21-23. In addition to that, it is only performed standing up, without any commercial breaks or any breaks, Kirsi’s wife describes in her Instagram stories.

– I mainly think about the circumstances, Kirsi Aaltola writes in connection with the video.

Yle’s election exam will therefore be held standing. In other media’s election exams, the candidates have sat in armchairs or benches.

Before the start of Yle’s election exam Yle’s “live broadcast” set designer Lea Sipilä gave reasons for the matter.

– It is the result of long consideration. The person is then visible with their entire body, and it is more dynamic than sitting. It can be a bit challenging when [ohjelman] the measure is two hours, but time goes quickly, Sipilä stated.

Today, Yle’s election exam will be broadcast live on television starting at 9 p.m. The exam lasts two hours, so it is scheduled to end at 11 p.m.
