Member of the Folketing

Members of the Folketing (Danish: Folketingsmedlem, lit.

'Medlem af Folketinget') are members of the Danish parliament, known as the Folketing.

Since the general election on 22 September 1953, which was the first under the Constitution of 1953, there have been 179 members of parliament in each session.

When someone ceases to be an MF, other members of their party who didn't win a seat at the most recent election are offered to take their place as substitutes, making by-elections unnecessary.
