Electoral system [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
The 179 Folketing deputies, the only room of the Danish parliament, are elected via a mixed electoral system associating a proportional multinominal ballot within the framework of the constituency with a distribution by compensation. 175 seats are divided between 3 regions: Copenhagen, Jutland and the islands. These 3 regions are subdivided into 3 urban constituencies and 7 rural constituencies. The number of seats allocated to each of these constituencies, proportional to the number of its inhabitants, is revised every five years. 135 of these seats are reserved for the constituency, the other 40 being compensatory and divided between the different political parties entering parliament in order to ensure them as exact as possible. To access the distribution of compensatory seats, training must have obtained a minimum of seats in a given district or a number of votes greater than or equal to the number of votes necessary to obtain a seat in at least 2 of 3 of 3 regions of the kingdom, or at least 2% of the votes cast at the national level. Voters also have a preferential vote, allowing them to express their preference for a candidate within the list for which they vote: the distribution of seats within the lists therefore takes place according to the preferential votes, the elected candidates being those who have gathered the most preferential votes on their name. Finally, 2 seats are reserved for the Faroe Islands and 2 others in Greenland.
To present lists in the legislative elections, any party must be represented in folketing when the ballot holds. If this is not the case, he must then collect a number of signatures corresponding to 1/175 It is Votes declared valid in the last legislative elections.
