When to vote
There is no fixed deadline for voting abroad. However, votes must be cast early enough to arrive at the relevant Danish municipality before the polling commences in Denmark at 08:00 on the 1st of November 2022. We therefore strongly recommend that votes be cast no later than the 20th of October 2022. It is possible to vote after this date, but it cannot be guaranteed that these votes will reach Denmark in time.PS! Valid Danish picture ID must be presented.
