General elections were held in
Denmark on 15 November 1960.[1] The
Social Democratic Party remained the largest in the
Folketing, with 76 of the 179 seats. Voter turnout was 86% in Denmark proper, 57% in the
Faroe Islands and 66% in
Greenland.[2] They were the last elections in which the
electoral threshold for the Danish seats was 60,000 votes. The following year the electoral law was amended to make it 2% of the vote.
