The election was held simultaneously with a referendum on changing the Danish Act of Succession.

All Danish parties which were represented in the European Parliament announced they would take part in the election.

As in the last election, several electoral coalitions were agreed to before the vote.

EU-critics JuniBevægelsen and the People's Movement against the EU were also in a coalition, meaning that the only party not in a coalition was the Danish People's Party.

The final list of MEP were determined by a recount of votes on individual politicians:[2] After the election, both head of the June Movement Keld Albrechtsen[3] and lead candidate Hanne Dahl[4] announced that they intended to disband the movement after failing to obtain a seat at the election.
