A constitutional referendum was held in Denmark on 23 May 1939.[1] Voters were asked whether they approved of a new constitution. Although it was approved by 91.9% of those who voted, a turnout of only 48.9% meant that the percentage of eligible voters approving it was only 44.46%, below the 45% required by the existing constitution of 1915.[2]
The Danish constitution was finally altered to its present form following a 1953 referendum.
