COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark will hold a parliamentary election on March 24, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s office said Thursday.

Voters will determine who sits in the Folketing, or parliament, for its next four-year term.

It has 179 seats — 175 of which go to lawmakers representing Denmark and two apiece to lawmakers from the kingdom’s two semiautonomous territories, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
