About this election
The rules of the game
As always, the 179 seats were allocated by highly proportional representation (175 in Denmark proper plus four for the Faroes and Greenland), with a 2% threshold and 40 levelling seats ensuring near-perfect proportionality. A bloc needs 90 seats for a majority.
