Constituencies (Danish: valgkredse) are used for elections to the Folketing, the national parliament of Denmark.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3]

Previous nominating districts (1918-1968)

The following districts were used as nominating districts between 1918 and 1968. In the 1918 election the districts outside of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg functioned as single-member constituencies, electing a single member. In 1950 four nomination districts were created in Copenhagen and Copenhagen County. 1953 one nomination district was created in Copenhagen County and two nomination districts in Copenhagen - Valby and Sundby - were divided into two new nomination districts. In 1966 two nomination districts were created in Copenhagen County.

Note that the nomination districts in Odense, Aalborg, and Århus were not officially distinguished in their name by anything but their number. Their relative geographical location have been added in parentheses for clarity.
