 There has been little electionjerng in 
 the run-up to the elections, but the   
 turnout is expected to bj high -       
 probably about 65 pet cent.            
                                        
 Despite the fact that Greenland is dui 
 to leave the European Community on     
 January 1, 1985, it will hold its own  
 election for one MEP.                  
                                        
 On mainland Denmark, 10 parties each   
 with 10 candidates are to take part in 
 the poll. Thjsj are the nine parties   
 already represented in the Danish      
 Parliament and one anti-EEC party.
