Provincial Council elections were held in Greenland on 28 April 1967.
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%).
As the Inuit Party received more than 6.25% of the valid vote, they were entitled to a compensatory seat.
The initial results in Nuuk showed independent candidates receiving 672 votes, following by Inuit Party candidates Thomas Berthels and 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]
