April 1920 Danish Folketing election Folketing
This lists parties that won seats. See the complete results below.
Folketing elections were held in Denmark on 26 April 1920,[1] Faroe Islands , where they were held on 20 May. The election campaign was the most aggressive and bitter in Denmark in the 20th century.[2] [3]
Background [ edit ]
In what is referred to as Easter Crisis of 1920 , on 29 March King Christian X dismissed the government,[4] Cabinet of Zahle II consisting of members of the Danish Social Liberal Party , replacing it with a caretaker cabinet led by Otto Liebe on 30 March, as he was of the opinion that Central Schleswig should be returned to Denmark regardless of the outcome of the Schleswig Plebiscites . This led to massive protests and was referred to as a coup d'état by the Danish Social Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party .[5] Michael Pedersen Friis and a new election was to be held as soon as possible.[6]
Electoral system [ edit ]
Prior to the elections, a new electoral law was enacted, with all seats now elected by party-list proportional representation in multi-member constituencies, with levelling seats used to make seat shares more proportional with national vote shares.[7] districts elected between two and 15 members each.
