Folketing elections were held in Denmark on 23 March 1943 alongside Landsting elections except in the Faroe Islands where they were held on 3 May. They were the first elections during the German occupation and although many people feared how the Germans might react to the election the event took place peacefully. The voter turnout was at 89.5% the highest of any Danish parliamentary election and became a demonstration against the occupation.
