Skive (nomination district)

Skive is a nomination district (Danish: opstillingskreds) in the Jutland North constituency for elections to the Folketing, the Danish parliament. It is located in the western part of Jutland, specifically within the Skive Municipality.

The nomination district encompasses the geographical area of Skive Municipality. As a nomination district, its primary function is to determine the candidates who will represent the Skive area on the party lists for the Jutland North constituency. Voters within Skive do not directly elect a specific representative solely for the Skive district. Instead, their votes contribute to the overall result for their chosen party within the larger constituency. The candidates ultimately elected to the Folketing from the Jutland North constituency are determined based on the total number of votes each party receives across all its nomination districts, combined with any leveling seats allocated to the constituency.

Nomination districts are administrative divisions used to organize elections and ensure regional representation. They do not have separate political significance beyond their role in the electoral process. The boundaries of nomination districts are periodically reviewed and may be adjusted to reflect population changes and maintain fair representation.
