The 2020 election to the American Parliament took place in Principality of Greenland on December 16, 2020. All 10 seats of the country's delegation to the ninth American Parliament were up for election.
The election saw the Højre party, a member of the American Conservative Coalition parliamentary group, lose its majority in the delegation for the first time since Greenland became part of the Conference of American States in 1994. The Social Democratic Party of the Social Democrats of America group gained one seat, while the Greenlandic People's Party, a national conservative and populist party formed in 2018 that is part of the America of Nations group, won its first seat in the American Parliament. The Cooperation Party of the Liberal Democrats of America group kept its only seat but made no gains.
Electoral system
The country is divided into ten electoral single-member districts, with each of the five regions of Greenland being divided into two districts. Three of the more populous regions were divided between their largest city and the rest of the region, while the two less populous regions were simply divided between a northern and a southern district. This system was first implemented in 2015 when the total number of seats in the Parliament was increased.
