About elections in Denmark
I'm Bartłomiej Paruzel, and I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the Denmark hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the 14 Denmark elections I cover, each with the official results, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places, and, where the electoral authority publishes an official regional breakdown, an interactive map you can explore region by region.
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy, consistently ranked among the world's most democratic and least corrupt countries. Executive power rests with a government led by the prime minister and accountable to parliament, while the monarch — Queen Margrethe II until her abdication in January 2024, then King Frederik X — is a ceremonial head of state. Legislative power lies with the 179-seat unicameral Folketing, elected for four-year terms (though the prime minister can call an election at any time). Of the 179 members, 175 are chosen in Denmark proper and two each are reserved for the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Denmark uses one of the most precisely proportional electoral systems in the world. In Denmark proper, 135 constituency seats are distributed across ten multi-member constituencies and then topped up by 40 nationwide "levelling" seats (tillægsmandater) that correct any disproportionality, so a party that clears the 2% threshold wins almost exactly its share of seats. The result is a fragmented parliament — typically ten or more parties — and government by negotiation. Danish politics is organised around two loose blocs: a "red bloc" led by the Social Democrats (Socialdemokratiet) with the Social Liberals, the Socialist People's Party (SF) and the Red–Green Alliance, and a "blue bloc" led by the liberal Venstre with the Conservatives, Liberal Alliance, the Danish People's Party (DF) and newer right-wing parties. Minority governments, supported but not joined by other parties, are the norm — though the 2022 election produced an unusual broad centrist coalition of Social Democrats, Venstre and the Moderates under Mette Frederiksen.
The same proportional logic governs Denmark's other elections. Members of the European Parliament are elected in a single nationwide constituency. Every four years, on the third Tuesday of November, Danes vote simultaneously in municipal elections (kommunalvalg) for the 98 powerful municipal councils that run schools and welfare, and in regional elections (regionsrådsvalg) for the councils that run the public health service — five regions until 2025, when the Capital and Zealand regions merged into a new Region of Eastern Denmark, leaving four. Denmark also makes occasional use of binding referendums on European questions, reflecting the opt-outs it secured after rejecting the Maastricht Treaty in 1992; voters kept the justice opt-out in 2015 but abolished the defence opt-out in 2022 after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Elections are administered by the Ministry of the Interior and certified locally, with results compiled and published by Statistics Denmark (Danmarks Statistik). This page collects Danish election results since 2015 — for the Folketing, the European Parliament, the regions, the municipalities and the two national referendums — each, where official figures allow, with an interactive map of the vote by region.
Each election listed here has its own page with the full breakdown by party or candidate and an interactive map of the result.
Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for Denmark — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.
The most recent Denmark election covered on ElectioMap is the Parliamentary Election 2026, held Mar 24, 2026. Its page has the full result with vote shares and, where official regional data is published, a map by region.
All Denmark figures come from the official electoral authority that certifies the count, entered exactly as published to two decimal places. See the Data & Methodology page for the full sourcing and update policy.
Where the electoral authority publishes an official regional breakdown, the Denmark election page includes an interactive map — click a region to see how each party or candidate performed there. Where no official per-region data exists, the page shows the certified national result and says so.
