alternativvalgmuligheder

Alternativvalgmuligheder is a Danish term used to describe the set of alternative options presented in a decision-making context. The word is a compound of alternativ (alternative), valg (vote or choice) and muligheder (options). In Danish usage, it can refer to different kinds of choices offered to a person, ranging from political ballots to user interface selections.

In electoral contexts, the term may describe the availability of different ways to express a preference, as well as multiple candidates or lists on a ballot. It can also cover systems that allow ranking or secondary preferences, although the precise meaning depends on national practice and legislation.

In non-electoral settings, alternativvalgmuligheder describes the options presented to a user when performing tasks in software, apps, or websites. Examples include a primary action with one or more alternatives, multiple input methods (keyboard, touch, voice), or alternative navigation routes. Good design aims to present enough choices to support user needs while avoiding cognitive overload and ensuring accessibility.

Related concepts include choice architecture, options design, and inclusive design. In political science, discussions about alternative voting methods and ranked-choice systems are related but use distinct terminology in different jurisdictions.
