This election is also yours
Up to 500,000 foreign citizens living in Denmark can vote on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, when there are elections for the country's municipalities and regions.
If you are one of them, you play a vital role in Danish democracy. On election day, you have the chance to influence issues such as the environment, schools, childcare, healthcare, bike safety, public transport, roads, nature and much more in your local area.
Your vote is crucial in shaping a Danish society that benefits all its residents.
Therefore, Radikale Venstre – the Danish Social Liberal Party – encourages you to support the party of your choice on November 18.
Radikale Venstre fights for fair and equal treatment for all in a greener Denmark
- Radikale Venstre fights for more social, economic and environmental sustainability, green transition, equal opportunity and individual freedom for future generations. We believe everyone living in Denmark should have the chance to thrive and actively participate in society.
- Increasing numbers of foreign citizens are already vital members of Danish society, contributing to our shared social and economic progress, businesses, public services, healthcare, education, research, and more. Radikale Venstre supports and values this diversity, which enhances knowledge, prosperity, and overall welfare for everyone.
- Our candidates in both municipalities and regions are fighting for all foreign citizens who want to join, participate and contribute to Danish society to have the same good opportunities to work, go to school, study and thrive in life as Danish citizens.
Who can vote on November 18th?
Anyone aged 18 or older and residing in the municipality/region is eligible to vote in the election for local and regional councils.
However, persons who are not nationals of Denmark, another EU Member State, Iceland, Norway, or UK may only vote if they have resided in the Kingdom for a period of four years prior to the election.
A few exceptions apply to those on tolerated stay that have been expelled by a court of law etc.
How to vote
Persons who are entitled to vote in the local and regional elections will be included automatically in the electoral register in the municipality where they are listed in the national register. If you are included in the electoral register, you will receive a poll card approximately five days before Election Day. If you are entitled to vote, and you have not received your poll card five days prior to Election Day, or the poll card contains incorrect information, you must contact your municipality as soon as possible.
Any voter may vote in advance at any Citizen Service center in Denmark from Tuesday 6 weeks prior to election day and no later than the Friday preceding election day. Remember to bring some ID.
If you have not received you poll card, or you have forgotten to bring it to the polling station, you can still vote. In case of doubt about your identity, the keeper of the electoral register has to determine your identity and might for this reason ask you to provide some form of documentation thereof, e.g. a passport, drivers license or other ID.
Voting takes place in the voting booth, which only the voter is allowed to enter (unless the voter is in need of assistance).
On the ballot paper you shall enter a cross against a list designation or the name of a candidate that you wish to vote for.
