Podcast Description – #VOTEHOME Vol.2
Can you vote in Denmark? Should you? And what happens if you do more than vote and actually run for office?
#VOTEHOME Vol.2 is a limited 5-episode podcast that empowers internationals living in Denmark to take part in local and regional elections on November 18, 2025. Hosted by Narcis George Matache and Derek Hartman, each episode combines real-life stories, practical explanations, and honest conversations with guests who have navigated Danish democracy from the outside in.
From understanding your voting rights to exploring what local and regional councils actually do to hearing from international candidates who are stepping onto the ballot, this season gives you everything you need to go from eligible to engaged.
Whether you’ve lived in Denmark for 4 years or 14, this podcast is here to remind you: This is your home. And your voice matters here.

Why Your Vote Matters
This motivational, heart-centered episode brings together three international candidates in Denmark who open up about their personal journeys and messages to eligible voters. In a reflective and inspiring 30-minute group conversation, the guests join the two co-hosts to explore what it truly means to participate in democracy as an international resident.
Together, they discuss:
- What does voting mean to them as internationals living in Denmark?
- Why did they decide to run in local or regional elections?
- Their message to other internationals who feel disconnected from politics
- Why does every vote matter, and how does every voice belong in Denmark?
This is not a policy debate; it’s a space to inspire, encourage participation, and remind listeners that representation begins with showing up.
The podcast is made by AMIS (an NGO that has over 30 years of history of making projects aimed at developing better opportunities and inclusion in Denmark and Europe), Nyt Europa (an NGO that works for a sustainable and democratic EU) and Last Week in Denmark (a weekly newsletter about Danish latest news available in 6 languages - English, Romanian, Polish, Spanish, Turkish and Italian).
