1959 Greenlandic Provincial Council election

Provincial Council elections were held in Greenland on 29 June 1959. A total of 67 candidates contested the 13 seats, with Elisabeth Johansen, who was successful in Uummannaq, becoming the first woman elected to the Provincial Council.

Electoral system
Members of the Provincial Council were elected by first-past-the-post voting in 13 single-member constituencies.

Aftermath
In May 1961 three additional constituencies were created covering Angmagssalik, Scoresbysund and Thule, with elections to fill these seats held on 30 May. Hendrik Abelsen was elected in Angmagssalik, Peter Jensen (politician) was elected in Thule and Magtikalaat Arqe in Scoresysund.

Knud Kristiansen was unable to attend sessions in May 1963, with Rasmus Kleemann acting as a substitute.
