Seats are the election result for the listed Danish party or historical grouping, not a later parliamentary membership snapshot. Where the source separates Denmark proper from the Faroe Islands and Greenland, only the mainland count is transcribed here; vote shares and turnout use that same electorate. Separate territorial results are not silently combined with mainland percentages. Missing vote counts remain blank, including elections with uncontested constituencies. Historical group and alliance labels are preserved without dividing shared lists into invented party votes. Colours are a display palette; ideology labels describe broad party traditions. Coverage is partial.
