A referendum on the abolition of the defence opt-out, one of the country's opt-outs from the European Union, was held in Denmark on 1 June 2022.[1][2][a] The referendum was announced on 6 March 2022 following a broad multi-party defence agreement reached during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] The referendum resulted in the "Yes" side winning with approximately two-thirds of the vote.[4]
