Løgtingið

Løgtingið, also known as the Faroese Parliament, is the unicameral legislature of the Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. It is located in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. The Faroese Parliament was established in 1948, following the introduction of the Faroese Home Rule Act, which granted the Faroese people a degree of self-government.

The Faroese Parliament consists of 32 members, known as "Løgmaður" or "Løgmaðurinn," who are elected by universal suffrage for a term of four years. The members are elected from a single constituency covering the entire Faroe Islands. The Faroese Parliament is responsible for making laws, approving the national budget, and overseeing the work of the government. It also has the power to approve or reject the Faroese government's proposals for constitutional amendments.

The Faroese Parliament meets in the Løgtingið building, which is a historic site and a symbol of the Faroese democratic tradition. The building was constructed in the 19th century and has been the seat of the Faroese Parliament since its establishment. The Faroese Parliament is an important institution in the Faroe Islands, reflecting the democratic values and traditions of the Faroese people.
