General elections were held in Denmark on 21 September 1971 and in the Faroe Islands on 5 October. The Social Democratic Party remained the largest in the Folketing, with 70 of the 179 seats. Voter turnout was 87.2% in Denmark proper, 56.8% in the Faroe Islands and 52.1% in Greenland (where only one of the two constituencies was contested as the other had only a single candidate who was elected unopposed).
