Elections to the European Parliament

Any person who

• has attained the age of 18 years,
• is a national of Denmark and resident in Denmark or one of the other EU Member States or
• a national of one of the other EU Member States and resident in Denmark

may vote in the election to the European Parliament in Denmark.

Furthermore, the following persons are not eligible to vote:

• persons, that have been expelled from Denmark by a court judgement, and
• persons, that have been expelled from Denmark by administrative decision.

People living in the Faroe Islands or Greenland, are also ineligible to vote in the election to the European Parliament because the Faroe Islands and Greenland are not members of the EU.

People who are eligible to vote are normally also eligible to stand for election to the European Parliament unless they have been convicted of an offence which in the public opinion makes them unworthy of being a member of the European Parliament. Moreover, nationals of the other EU Member States may have lost their eligibility to stand for election in their home country by way of a decision in civil or criminal proceedings in the relevant home country.
