Constituencies () are used for elections to the Folketing, the national parliament of Denmark. Denmark proper is divided into 10 constituencies largely corresponding to the Provinces of Denmark, (which themselves are statistical divisions of the regions of the country) each electing multiple members using open-list proportional representation. Those constituencies are then divided into 92 opstillingskredse (nomination districts) which mainly serve the purpose of nominating candidates, but historically functioned as single-member constituencies electing one member using plurality voting.
List of constituencies (2007 onwards) The following is the list of constituencies used from 2007 onwards.
The Faroe Islands has been one single constituency since 1850. Since 1947 it has elected two members using proportional representation. Greenland has been represented by two members since 1953. Prior to 1975, it was divided into two single-member constituencies.
Prior to the reforms creating the current regions of Denmark in 2007, the constituencies were largely based on the counties, with the exception of Copenhagen, which was divided into 3 separate constituencies.
