Denmark is holding a snap parliamentary election after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called for early polls while seeking a third term. Such elections are conducted before the scheduled tenure ends, often driven by political strategy or necessity.
Snap elections may arise due to loss of confidence in the government, legislative deadlock (such as failure to pass a budget), or to gain electoral advantage when public support is high. They help governments seek a fresh mandate from voters.
