Lars-Emil Johansen is a Greenlandic politician who served as the second prime minister of Greenland from 1991 to 1997, and Speaker of the Inatsisartut from 2013 to 2018.
The Folketing, also known as the Parliament of Denmark or the Danish Parliament in English, is the unicameral national legislature (parliament) of the Kingdom of Denmark—Denmark proper together with the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Established in 1849, until 1953 the Folketing was the lower house of a bicameral parliament, called the Rigsdag; the upper house was the Landsting. It meets in Christiansborg Palace, on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen.
Landstinget was the upper house of the Rigsdag, from 1849 until 1953, when the bicameral system was abolished in favour of unicameralism. Landstinget had powers equal to the Folketing, which made the two houses of parliament hard to distinguish.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 11 May 1918, with the exceptions that the seats elected by the resigning parliament were elected on 20 March 1918, the Faroese member was elected on 13 May, and the electors that elected the candidates standing in the constituencies were elected on 30 April.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 10 August 1920, with the exceptions that the seats elected by the resigning parliament were elected on 26 June, the Faroese member was elected on 23 August, and the electors that elected the candidates standing in the constituencies were elected on 30 July.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 1 October 1920, with the exceptions that the seats elected by the resigning parliament were elected on 10 September, except for the representative of South Jutland County who was elected on October 7, the Faroese member was elected on 3 February 1921, and the electors that elected the candidates standing in the constituencies were elected on 24 September 1920.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 19 September 1902, with the exception that the Faroese candidate was elected on 6 August.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 20 September 1910, with the exception that the Faroese candidate was elected on 1 September.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 14 April 1939, with the exception that the electors that elected the candidates standing in the constituencies were elected on 3 April.
Folketing elections were held alongside Landsting elections in Denmark on 21 April 1953, except in the Faroe Islands where they were held on 7 May. The Social Democratic Party remained the largest in the Folketing, with 61 of the 151 seats. Voter turnout was 81% in Denmark proper but just 20% in the Faroes.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 23 September 1924, with the exception that the electors were elected on 18 September.
Landsting elections were held in Denmark on 6 April 1943, with the exception that the electors were elected on 23 March. Along with the corresponding Folketing election, it was the first election during the German occupation, and although many people feared how the Germans might react to the election, the event took place peacefully.
