Background
In February 2023, the European Parliament's Committee on Constitutional Affairs of the European Parliament (AFCO) released a draft report by Lóránt Vincze and Sandro Gozi on the composition of the European Parliament in order to respect the principle of degressive proportionality (enshrined in the TEU). It was approved by both the AFCO on 12 June 2023,{{Cite web |date=2023-12-06 |title=MEPs propose new seat distribution for the next legislative term {{!}} News {{!}} European Parliament |url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20230612IPR96903/meps-propose-new-seat-distribution-for-the-next-legislative-term |access-date=2023-07-14 |website=www.europarl.europa.eu |language=en}} as well as EP plenary on 15 June.{{Cite web |date=2023-06-15 |title=European elections 2024: Parliament proposes more seats for nine EU countries {{!}} News {{!}} European Parliament |url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20230609IPR96213/european-elections-2024-parliament-proposes-more-seats-for-nine-eu-countries |access-date=2023-07-14 |website=www.europarl.europa.eu |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2023-05-14 |title=Draft report on the composition of the European Parliament (2021/2229(INL) – 2023/0900(NLE)) |url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/AFCO-PR-730188_EN.pdf |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=European Parliament |language=en-UK}} The final report was adopted by the European Council on 22 September 2023.{{CELEX|32023D2061|text=European Council Decision (EU) 2023/2061 of 22 September 2023 establishing the composition of the European Parliament}} With its implementation, Denmark was allocated an additional seat for the European Parliament elections, changing the number from 14 to 15.
On 31 March 2023, Christel Schaldemose was nominated as the main candidate of the Social Democrats.{{Cite web |last=Ritzau |date=2023-03-31 |title=S-veteran er indstillet som spidskandidat til EP-valget næste år |url=https://www.kristeligt-dagblad.dk/danmark/s-veteran-er-indstillet-som-spidskandidat-til-ep-valget-naeste-aar |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Kristeligt Dagblad |language=da}} On 15 April 2023, Henrik Dahl announced his candidacy for Liberal Alliance.{{Cite web |date=2023-04-15 |title=Liberal Alliance vil sende Henrik Dahl til Bruxelles |url=https://www.altinget.dk/eu/artikel/altinget.dk/eu/artikel/liberal-alliance-vil-sende-henrik-dahl-til-bruxelles |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=EU}} On 22 April 2023, Morten Løkkegaard was nominated as the main candidate for Venstre.{{Cite web |date=2023-05-29 |title=Løkkegaard skal igen føre an i Venstres europæiske valgkamp |url=https://www.berlingske.dk/politik/morten-loekkegaard-er-venstres-spidskandidat-ved-europaeisk-valg |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=berlingske.dk}}

On 7 January 2024, Martin Lidegaard revealed, possibly by mistake, that the Social Liberals wished to join an electoral alliance with Venstre.{{Cite web |date=2023-10-16 |title=Lidegaard gjorde salen helt stille – talte han lige over sig? |url=https://nyheder.tv2.dk/politik/2024-01-07-lidegaard-gjorde-salen-helt-stille-talte-han-lige-over-sig |access-date=2024-01-07 |website=tv2.dk|language=da}} On 16 January 2024, sources of Altinget said that the two parties and the Moderates would join an electoral alliance.{{Cite web |date=2024-01-16 |title=Altinget erfarer: Venstre, Moderaterne og Radikale vil i valgforbund til EU-valg |url=https://www.altinget.dk/artikel/altinget-erfarer-venstre-moderaterne-og-radikale-vil-i-valgforbund-til-eu-valg |access-date=2024-01-26 |website=Altinget.dk}} It was officially announced on 26 January 2024.{{Cite web |last=Ritzau |title=Regeringspartier går i valgsamarbejde med R som værn mod EU-højrefløj |url=https://www.kristeligt-dagblad.dk/danmark/regeringspartier-gaar-i-valgsamarbejde-med-r-som-vaern-mod-eu-hoejrefloej |access-date=2024-01-26 |website=Kristeligt Dagblad |language=da}}

Electoral system
15 members of the European Parliament will be elected in Denmark through a single constituency, using the D'Hondt method. Parties can choose to either use open list or mostly closed list. Unlike in parliamentary elections, but similarly to local elections, electoral alliances are allowed.
To be an eligible voter one must be at least 18 years old and meet one of the following requirements:
- Danish citizenship and permanent residence in Denmark or another EU member state;
or
- citizenship in another EU member state and resident in Denmark.
To contest the election, a party must either have earned representation at the previous parliamentary election and still be represented in the Folketing 9 weeks before the election date (7 April 2024), or earned representation at the previous European Parliament election in Denmark and still be represented in the European Parliament 9 weeks before the election date. If none of these criteria are met, a party must collect voter signatures from a number of voters equal to at least 2% of the valid votes at the last parliamentary election (70,680). The signatures must be submitted at latest 11 weeks before the election date (24 March 2024).{{Citation |last=Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet |title=Bekendtgørelse af lov om valg af danske medlemmer til Europa-Parlamentet |date=2024-01-08 |url=https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2024/5 |access-date=2024-02-25}}
The election used the 92 Folketing nomination districts for administrative and statistical purposes, but they had no impact on the distribution of seats as Denmark forms a single nationwide constituency for European Parliament elections.

Parties running
Because no party managed to obtain the required signatures before 24 March 2024, only the 11 parties represented in the Folketing on 7 April 2024 were eligible to contest the election. Of the 11 parties contesting the election, 8 are currently represented in the European Parliament and are members of a group. Liberal Alliance, the Denmark Democrats, and the Alternative are not represented in the European Parliament, and are thus not part of any group, but intend to join EPP,{{Cite web |title=I en fortrolig samtale med Lars Løkke blev Henrik Dahl bekræftet i en ny erkendelse om EU {{!}} avisendanmark.dk |url=https://avisendanmark.dk/politik/i-en-fortrolig-samtale-med-lars-loekke-blev-henrik-dahl-bekraeftet-i-en-ny-erkendelse-om-eu |access-date=2024-04-12 |website=avisendanmark.dk |language=da}} ECR,{{Cite web |date=2024-04-12 |title=Danmarksdemokraterne har fundet sine allierede i EU.

= Electoral alliances =
For European Parliament elections in Denmark, apparentments (or electoral alliances) are allowed. If parties agree to enter an electoral alliance, they will count their votes as one and be allocated seats as though it was one party, using the D'Hondt method. When an electoral alliance has been allocated the number of seats it is entitled to, the seats will similarly be divided between them using the D'Hondt method. The following electoral alliances were submitted for the election:{{Cite web |date=24 April 2024 |title=Partier og kandidater ved Europa-Parlamentsvalget søndag den 9. juni 2024 |url=https://valg.im.dk/Media/638495482227986457/Partier%20og%20kandidater%20ved%20Europa-Parlamentsvalget%20s%c3%b8ndag%20den%209.%20juni%202024.pdf |website=valg.im.dk}}
