Table and voting booth.
November 18, 2025 at 7:29 PM
The ballot boxes are guarded by volunteers at all times and random voters certify that the boxes are empty before use.

You can put an X on either the party or the candidate. Nothing else is allowed. Any other writing will invalidate the ballot.

After checking off each ballot, you fold them up and exit out the other side of the voting booth through another curtain.

Here you find the 2 ballot boxes.
November 18, 2025 at 7:28 PM
When a voting booth is ready, a volunteer will guide you to it and you close the curtains after you.

Kids, that can't read, are allowed in the voting booth, and handicapped can bring an assistant.

There are instructions on how to vote in the booth.

It is paper ballots marked with a special pencil

How we vote in Denmark:

When you arrive at the polling station, you normally see some organisations outside.
Politicians are not allowed to campaign outside the polling station, but organisations like Red Cross or local sport clubs are allowed to collect donations.

Election day in Denmark!

The polling stations are open from 8am until 8pm.

I arrived at one of the busiest times, just after 6pm.

It took me around 5-10 minutes to get my ballots and vote.

We are voting in 2 elections, city council and regional council.

It is the evening before our elections in Denmark.

Here is my election card. It shows where I should go to vote and when the voting place is open.

The central registry knows who is eligible to vote, so election cards are automatically sent to your registered address. No registration needed.

The Running Man (2025) is a great movie. Funny, great action and some very precise critique of the modern media society.

If you want to see what America looks like after years with Trump-wannabe leaders, watch this movie.

One of the first signs that the election campaigns have started are the posters of the candidates that will be put up in lamp posts all over the country.
I personally don't like them, but at least they make it clear that an election is near.

Since the US just had some elections and we have an upcoming election in Denmark, I thought it would be fun to make a few posts about how our elections work.

The coming election is for all 98 municipalities and 4 regions.

Well, I've been drinking this, so F you, Coca-Cola.

I saw a Cybertruck at a Danish car show. Completely useless move, because it can't be registered to drive on public roads in Denmark.

Vil Julie Grove mon have indført en dansk version af dette ark?

Yeah, seems like Elon Musk completely misunderstood The Lord of the Rings. No surprise.

New definition of useless:

Bringing a Cybertruck to a Danish EV car show, when the Cybertruck aren't allowed on any EU roads.

As the freedom loving Americans prepare for tomorrow's No Kings rally, I am reminded of this quote from Andor:

You can take so many screenshots, because everything is beautiful or impactful.
