In a few weeks, Danes will flock to the ballot boxes to elect their prime minister for the next four years.

Nine parties will fight for 179 seats in parliament, and two politicians will be elected from both Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

Danes living in Korea who wish to vote are requested to visit either the embassy in Seoul or the consulate office in Busan no later than Sept 8.

The Embassy of Denmark is located on the 5th floor of the Namsong Building in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu.

The consulate in Busan is on the 11th floor of the Busan Pacific Law Office in the Byuksan E-Centre Class One Bldg, Jaesong-dong, Haeundae-gu.

Their opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Seoul, while the Busan office closes at 6:30 p.m.

Passport or other valid photo identification is requested at polling stations for Danes wishing to vote.
