Morning opening: Danes go to the polls
Jakub Krupa
After votes in France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia over the weekend, it’s now time for Denmark, as Danes go to the polls today amid the backdrop of (waves arms) everything, everywhere, all at once.
As our Nordic correspondent Miranda Bryant explains, the incumbent, Mette Frederiksen, has been widely predicted to continue as prime minister after the election.
Earlier this year, her party recorded a “Greenland bump” after dealing with US president Donald Trump’s threats aimed at the semiautonomous territory, but the campaign was dominated by domestic issues.
And it’s all very tight.
The last Verian poll, published on Monday, predicted that neither the red nor the blue bloc would be able to form a majority without the Moderates, putting the Moderates leader, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, in the position of kingmaker.
Miranda is on the ground in Copenhagen and she will keep us posted on the main stories and the colour of the election day in Denmark.
The polls close 8pm local time (7pm UK) and we will have exit polls and immediate reactions for you on the blog.
It’s Tuesday, 24 March 2026, it’s Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live.
Good morning.
