General elections will be held in Greenland after either the dissolution or expiry of the current Parliament, and must be held on or before 27 November 2018. All 31 members of Parliament will be elected. According to the Danish Constitution, the election will have to be held no later than 26 November 2018, as the last election was held on 27 November 2014. The Prime Minister is able to call the election at any date, provided that date is no later than four years from the previous election, and this is often cited as a tactical advantage to the sitting government, as it can call an early election when polls are favourable.

The 2014 general elections saw Siumut secure a narrow majority in Parliament, winning the same number of seats as Inuit Ataqatigiit (11) with around 300 more votes. A coalition government was formed by Siumut, Democrats and Atassut, with Inuit Ataqatigiit and Partii Naleraq later joining the government. Kim Kielsen, the leader of Siumut, became Prime Minister.

The 31 members of Parliament are elected by proportional representation in multi-member constituencies. Seats were allocated using the d'Hondt method.
