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]
