Denmark is holding legislative elections marked by a tight competition between blocs and the prospect of a third term for Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

In Denmark, legislative elections will take place on Tuesday, and polls suggest a slight lead for the center-left bloc led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. She, the leader of the Social Democrats, hopes to secure a third consecutive term, which could make her the longest-serving prime minister in the country's recent history.

The elections will reflect the Danish people's reaction to her firm opposition to American President Donald Trump's pressures regarding Greenland, as well as discontent related to domestic issues. The economy, the environment, and the wealth tax proposed by Frederiksen for the wealthiest citizens are central topics in the campaign.

The Danish electoral system allows citizens to vote from the age of 18, and final results could be announced on Wednesday after the votes are counted. Denmark has a unicameral parliament, the Folketing, with 179 members, and forming a government may involve negotiations with opposition parties.
