Provincial Council elections were held in Greenland on 28 April 1967.

Electoral system

Members of the Provincial Council were elected by first-past-the-post voting in 16 single-member constituencies. Political parties or lists were entitled to compensatory seats if they received more than one-sixteenth of the valid votes cast (6.25%).

Results

As the Inuit Party received more than 6.25% of the valid vote, they were entitled to a compensatory seat.

Elected members

The initial results in Nuuk showed independent candidates Peter K. S. Heilmann [ de] receiving 672 votes, following by Inuit Party candidates Thomas Berthels and Kaj Narup [ de] with 313 and 293 respectively. ^[1] Berthels was declared elected, as the Inuit Party candidate with the most votes. However, the result was challenged and a recount showed Heilmann with 700 votes, Narup with 326 and Berthels with 324, resulting in Narup replacing Berthels in the Provincial Council. ^[2]

Aftermath

Erik Egede [ de] died in 1967 and was replaced by Niels Holm [ de]. In 1968 Aron Davidsen [ de] was replaced by Erinarteq Jonathansen [ de]. In 1969 Kaj Narup was replaced by Peter Nielsen [ de]. ^[3]
