1915 Danish Folketing election 1915 Danish Folketing election The Danish Folketing election of 1915 was held on 7 May 1915. As required to change the Constitution, the government called for the dissolution of both the Folketing and the Landsting in order for the new Rigsdag to be able to introduce the new constitution. However, as this was during World War I, no campaigning took place, and the election was settled without voting in 104 of 114 constituencies. Therefore, it is impossible to give numbers for the actual support the respective parties received from the voters. The corresponding Landsting election was held on 21 May.
