Electoral system for national legislature

Parliamentary elections 

During elections the country is divided into a number of constituencies (one district for elections to the Greenlandic parliament, Inatsisartut, a number of districts to elect Greenland's representatives to the Danish parliament, and five districts for municipal elections), and a number of party candidates and independent candidates run in each district. Greenland's political parties are generally represented by candidates in every district, but this is not always the case. For example, some parties do not field candidates in every municipality during municipal elections. A candidate can belong to a political party or run as an independent candidate. 

Voters have the right to cast ballots in the districts in which they reside on a given date, and this can vary slightly for different types of elections. There may be special rules for persons with temporary residence. Each voter may cast one ballot either for a party, a candidate from a party, or an independent candidate. Lists of registered voters are available at every polling place and used by election officials to verify that each eligible voter casts only one ballot. When the election has been completed and the votes have been counted, the results are entered into Qinersineq.gl. The electoral system is publicly accessible, so the election results are shown in real time as they are entered.
