Cast Your Vote: Understanding Danish Elections

Do you live in Denmark but wonder if you have a say in local politics? If you have a permanent address in the country, you might have the right to vote in the upcoming municipal and regional elections – regardless of your nationality.

In this talk, Professor Ulrik Kjær from the University of Southern Denmark will guide you through the basics of the Danish political system. Kjær is one of Denmark’s leading experts on local elections and voter behavior, and he will explain how local and regional governments work, why your vote matters, and what to expect on election day. You'll also get a look at how a Danish ballot works and how the voting process is organized.

This talk is especially relevant now, as Denmark is holding municipal and regional elections in November 2025. Join the talk to understand how local democracy works – and why your participation matters.
