Source-derived summary

Faaborg nominating district is one of the 92 nominating districts that exists for Danish elections following the 2007 municipal reform. It consists of Faaborg and Ærø municipality. It was created in 1849 as a constituency, and has been a nomination district since 1920, though its boundaries have been changed since then. Between 1915 and 1970 it was known as Ærøskøbing-Fåborg.

In general elections, the district tends to vote close to the national result when looking at the voting split between the two blocs.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12310934. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007, 1849, 1920 and 1915.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
