Danes are heading to the polling stations to cast their ballots in the early general election with a close result expected, BBC reported Tuesday.
Opinion polls suggest a slim victory for the centre-right coalition led by the current Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's over the centre-left opposition.
Polls were due to open across Denmark at 0800 GMT and to close at 1900 GMT, with about four million Danes eligible to vote.
The final results to show the members of the 179-member parliament, the Folketing, are expected just before midnight.
Mr Rasmussen's minority Liberal-Conservative government - along with its parliamentary ally the right-wing Danish People's Party - has led opinion polls, but the Social Democrat-led opposition has narrowed the gap in the last few days.
The prime minister said he needed a renewed mandate to continue the upcoming wage negotiations and a package of welfare reforms.
The main problem for Mr Rasmussen's government appears to have been the emergence of the New Alliance party, observers say.
Under the leadership of a Syria-born Palestinian, Naser Khader, the party has been doing well in the opinion polls.
