Folketing elections were held in Denmark on 26 April 1920,[1] except in the 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] Voter turnout was 80.6% in Denmark proper and 58.8% in the Faroe Islands.[3]
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] The districts elected between two and 15 members each.
