European Parliamentary elections

If your name and address have already been registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR), you are considered to have a permanent address in Denmark.

Foreign nationals who have been deported by final judgment (according to sections 22-24 or 25c of the Danish Aliens Act) or by a final decision (sections 25-25b of the Danish Aliens Act), are however disqualified from voting.

The reason is that EU citizens who live in a member state other than their home country can usually choose if they want to participate in the elections in their home country or their country of residence. However, you can only vote one place, and thus you cannot vote both in the elections in Denmark and in your home country.

If you want to vote in the elections in Denmark, you must therefore provide the information specified in the application form and send the application to the local authority where you live.

If your name was entered in the electoral register in Denmark at the latest European Parliamentary elections, unless you have moved either abroad or to the Faroe Islands or Greenland or according to your own wish have been struck off the electoral register in the meantime, you are notrequired to renew your application. See clauses 5 and 6.

In the period from and including 6 weeks before the election day (28 April 2024)* and up to and including 5 weeks before the election day (6 May 2024)*, the deadline is instead 4 weeks before the election day (9. june 2024)* if you have either:

1. moved to Denmark
2. have notified your new local authority of your moving, or
3. have become a citizen in one of the other EU countries.

*If the deadlines fall on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the deadlines are postponed until the next working day. The dates in brackets are the deadlines in the European Parliamentary elections on 9 June 2024. Applications submitted after the above deadlines cannot take effect in the first election in the European Parliament, but can take effect in the next election. Thus, this form can also be used after the holding of the European Parliamentary elections on 9 June 2024.

Applications submitted after the above deadlines cannot take effect in the first election in the European Parliament, but can take effect in the next election. Thus, this form can also be used after the holding of the European Parliamentary elections on 9 June 2024.

The application is processed and determined by the local authority in which you live. If information in the form is incomplete, or the details do not match the records of the Central Registration System (CPR), your local authority will notify you accordingly and ask you for additional information.

If your application for enrolment in the electoral register is approved, you will continue to be entered in the electoral register for European Parliamentary elections for as long as you stay in Denmark. Therefore, you will automatically, that is without any need for further action, be entered in the electoral register for the next European Parliamentary elections unless you have migrated abroad, to the Faroe Islands or Greenland in the meantime or have been struck off the electoral register.

According to the General Data Protection Regulation and the Danish Data Protection Act, you have a right of access to the information which is registered about you. You can contact the authority which registers the information (the local authority). You can demand to have rectified any incorrect information registered about you.
