Both Reform and Centre published contrasting advertisements with yes-no tables listing policies that they claimed one party supported and the other did not.

[20][22] IRL campaigned on promises such as providing a computer to every ninth-grader, increased welfare spending and wages as well as the construction of the War of Independence Victory Column.

The Estonian National Electoral Committee announced that 11 political parties and seven individual candidates registered to take part in the 2007 parliamentary election.
