Let's get Volt on your ballot - register your support here, now!
You cannot vote for Volt in the European Parliament elections in Denmark in 2024 because the Danish Parliament passed L48 on 7 December 2023.
In 2023, it was stated in the European Parliament Election Act that if a party was represented in the European Parliament, the party did not need to collect voter endorsements. We checked with a lawyer in EU law and with his help submitted a notification on Monday 6 March 2023.
After 6 weeks of waiting, Volt received a rejection from the Ministry of the Interier and here are 4 wild reasons as to why:
The European Movement Against the EU had suggested lowering the number of voter declarations for the European Parliament elections to make it a little easier, after all, to stand for election. Here is our submission to the Home Affairs Committee, which of course ignored our proposal.
.. Indeed the Ministry of the Interior had not considered our reference to the EU Charter in their initial rejection of our application from March 2023. So now they had to do it again! Read our complaint and the 4 incredible reasons why we were rejected in the first place!
While we wait, the Ministry of the Interior is busy cleaning up the legal text so that Volt cannot run! In a democrat country, they are going to great lengths to prevent Volt from running!
Today we have revolving doors for politicians and barricades for new parties.
With the requirement of 70.680 endorsements , Denmark has the highest threshold to get on the ballot paper for the European Parliament elections. This does not benefit the social dialogue or trust in the political system.

We have big challenges, but we can solve them together when we work together!
These are Volt's 5+1 focus areas in ALL of Europe:
An innovative state takes care of its citizens and is at the same time ready with flexible solutions. We will therefore strengthen both our digital AND our human solutions.
In order to meet the challenges of the future, we must rethink the economy in Europe. From the labor market to our monetary and financial policy.
We want to strengthen the individual citizen's voice in everyday life. It is a failure of democracy if citizens are only listened to at election time.
Volt wants an equal society where the individual potential can be unleashed, and here Volt wants to take the lead and take greater responsibility.
The western world is responsible for a large emission of CO2 and therefore we must also be at the forefront of developing solutions.
We have a vision for Europe that guarantees equal access to education, healthcare and social protection and employment opportunities for all. A Europe where citizens have the same rights and can trust that everyone contributes and benefits equally from their commitment.
