Danish Democracy Decoded: Politics, Elections & Voting

In this talk, Professor Kasper Kjær Hansen from the University of Copenhagen will guide you through the basics of the Scandinavian political system.  

Hansen is one of Denmark’s leading experts on local elections and voter behavior, and he will explain what the national parliament, the municipalities and regions are responsible for, how political decisions are made, and why elections play an important role in Danish democracy. 

The talk will also guide you through the practical side of voting in Denmark. You will get an introduction to how a Danish ballot works, what to expect at the polling station, and how the voting process is organised. 

Whether you are voting for the first time, new to Denmark or simply curious about Danish democracy, this talk will help you understand the Danish democracy.
