Federal elections were held in [[Steinborg]] on 31 October 2021 to elect the members of the 24th [[Federal Parliament (Steinborg)|Federal Parliament]]. All 200 members of the Federal Parliament were elected in 15 multi-member constituencies.
Federal elections were held in [[Steinborg]] on 31 October 2021 to elect the members of the 24th [[Federal Parliament (Steinborg)|Federal Parliament]].
 
The economy, climate change, crime and government spending were the main issues of the campaign. The [[People's Party (Steinborg)|People's Party]] and its coalition government consisting of the [[Moderate Forum (Steinborg)|Christian Democratic Forum]] and the [[Liberals (Steinborg)|Liberals]] ran on their record of falling crime rates and economic recovery, and the coalition also used the personal popularity of [[Paalik]] [[Viktor Leppik]] in their campaign. The [[Greens (Steinborg)|Greens]] and [[New Democracy (Steinborg)|New Democracy]] ran a joint campaign, advocating for a fight against climate change, greater government spending on infrastructure and green energy and the legalisation of same-sex marriage. The [[Social Democratic Party (Steinborg)|Social Democratic Party]], the [[Worker's Party (Steinborg)|Worker's Party]] and the [[Alternative (Steinborg)|Alternative]] all faced infighting amid their poor performances in the previous election and they failed to deliver a coherent message during the campaign.
 
The People's Party achieved yet another landslide victory, retaining its position as the largest party with an even bigger margin than in [[2017 Steinborgian federal election|2017]]. All the parties in the government increased their vote and seat share, something that hasn't happened since [[2001 Steinborgian federal election|2001]]. The anticipated progressive wave did not fully materialize, but the Greens and New Democracy still experienced an increase in ther vote and seat share. The Social Democrats, Worker's Party and Alternative all experienced losses. While turnout fell by 12 percent, it was still way ahead of the historical average.
 
The sitting coalition government was again assembled with minimal changes and Viktor Leppik was reelected as Paalik on 10th November 2021.
