Hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals who live in Denmark are eligible to vote in upcoming regional and municipal elections.

What are local elections and who can vote?

If you are a foreign national living in Denmark, you may be able to vote in upcoming regional and local elections on November 18th.

Unlike with parliamentary elections, you do not have to be a Danish citizen to vote in regional elections (regionalvalg) or municipal elections (kommunalvalg) in Denmark.

Denmark has 98 municipalities and 5 regions. The local elections, lokalvalg, elect representatives to both municipal councils and regional boards and take place at the same time.
