On 1 January 2007 Nordfyn municipality was created as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipal Reform" of 2007), consisting of the former municipalities of Bogense, Otterup and Søndersø.

It was originally planned that the new entity should have continued the existing name of Bogense municipality but a local referendum preferred the name Nordfyn and this decision was approved by the Danish Interior Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, in June 2006.[1]

gollark: > I'm partial to multiple choice voting, basically ranked choice but you just select all the options you'd be okay with and they're counted equallyAlso called approval voting, but I'm pretty sure that it's not true that it stops strategic voting.
