A constitutional and electoral age referendum was held in Denmark on 28 May 1953.[1] Both proposals were approved by voters, leading to both a new constitution taking effect on 5 June, and the electoral age being lowered from 25 to 23 years, also starting on 5 June.[2][3][4] Voter turnout was 59.1% for the constitution question and 57.1% for the voting age question.[5]
