Denmark is one single European Parliament constituency. Since 1 February 2020, it has been represented by fourteen members of the European Parliament, following a redistribution of seats after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 31 January 2020.[1] It covers the EU member state of Denmark, but not the Faroe Islands or Greenland, which are not part of the EU.

Denmark uses the D'Hondt method of proportional representation. Electoral coalitions between two or more parties are allowed.
