Rules and sources

Disclosure threshold

N/a (per-vote subsidy: DKK/vote x votes at the last general election)

Legal framework

The Party Accounts Act (Partiregnskabsloven, consolidated act LBK no. 1107 of 15 September 2025) requires parties that stood in the most recent Folketing or European Parliament election to file the accounts of their national organisation within 12 months; they are published by the Folketing. Private donors are named (name and address, but no amount) above an index-linked threshold of DKK 20,000 (DKK 24,500 in 2025, DKK 25,700 in 2026); below the threshold only the aggregate total is declared. Foreign donations have been banned since 1 July 2025. Municipal and regional candidate lists declare above-threshold donations in a statement (erklæring) published by the municipality or region. Public party funding (partistøtte, under the Partistøtteloven; DKK 38.50 per vote in 2025) is administered by the Ministry of the Interior and Health (Indenrigs- og Sundhedsministeriet). There is no national lobby register.

Currency

Caveats

• Danish law makes parties disclose the NAMES of donors above an index-linked threshold (DKK 20,000 in 2017 prices; 22,200 in 2022; 24,500 in 2025) but not the amounts. The official compilation of party accounts (partiregnskaber on ft.dk) is behind a Cloudflare challenge and was not bypassed. the donations data therefore holds only what three parties publish voluntarily WITH amounts on their own sites: Radikale Venstre 2011-2024 (all annual reports), Enhedslisten 2020 and 2024, Alternativet 2024. All other parties (Socialdemokratiet, Venstre, Konservative, SF, Dansk Folkeparti, Liberal Alliance, Nye Borgerlige, Moderaterne, Danmarksdemokraterne, ...) publish donor names without amounts in accounts that were not collected; searched 29 Sep 2026: nyeborgerlige.dk lists no donors, alternativet.dk/info/regnskaber shows only 2024.
• Radikale Venstre rows include local branches (vælgerforeninger), support associations and candidates as recipients, with recipient kind party_branch / candidate / campaign as far as the report shows; the same donor can appear for the national party and a branch. Donors below the party's own reporting threshold are not listed. 2006-2010 reports name donors without amounts: those names are in named_donors_no_amount.csv (not loaded into the index).
• Enhedslisten: the 2020 and 2024 reports list every contribution above DKK 5,000 with the amount and the party tax (partiskat) paid by members of the Folketing, European Parliament, municipal and regional councils; party-tax rows are individuals flagged in description. Other years exist on vores.enhedslisten.dk but were not downloaded (pending).
• Names and postcodes are as printed; street addresses are dropped. A few OCR slips were corrected with a small map (Lolland, Plaza, Tekniq, Venstreblades); the donor 'Samuelsen' (2019, two rows) is printed with the surname only.
• Local candidate-list declarations (erklæringer om private og anonyme bidrag) are published as PDFs by 98 municipalities and 5 regions; a sample from Copenhagen (kk.dk) consisted of scanned image PDFs without a text layer, so they were not ingested (OCR would be required and they do not systematically give amounts per donor).
• the public funding data covers only the national per-vote subsidy under Partistøtteloven §2 administered by the Ministry; municipal/regional party support, parliamentary group support (gruppestøtte, Folketinget) and EP-election support are not included.
• Faroese and Greenlandic parties receiving Danish state party funding are included in the party list and the public funding data with europarty/ep_group 'none'.
• Funding year 2016 amounts and 2010-2018 amounts come from PDF text extraction; totals were spot-checked against the PDF text. 2026 (after the March 2026 Folketing election) not yet published at collection time.
• the party accounts data not available: party accounts totals are only in the ft.dk PDFs (inaccessible) and the parties' own annual reports (not yet processed).
• Europarty/EP-group mappings for small Danish parties (Liberal Alliance, Moderaterne, Danmarksdemokraterne, Enhedslisten) reflect EP group membership of their MEPs in the 2024-2029 term; formal europarty membership left as 'none' where not certain.
