Provincial Council elections were held in Greenland on 28 April 1967.
Electoral system
Members of the Provincial Council were elected by first-past-the-post voting in 16 single-member constituencies. Political parties or lists were entitled to compensatory seats if they received more than one-sixteenth of the valid votes cast (6.25%).
Results
As the Inuit Party received more than 6.25% of the valid vote, they were entitled to a compensatory seat.
