Early general elections were held in Greenland on 28 November 2014.[1] They were called after Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond resigned following a spending scandal.[2] Siumut and Inuit Ataqatigiit emerged as the largest parties both winning 11 of the 31 seats. A three party coalition government was formed consisting of the incumbent Siumut and Solidarity parties alongside the Democrats.
The 31 members of Parliament were elected by proportional representation in multi-member constituencies. Seats were allocated using the d'Hondt method.[3]
