A question about new conscription policy: still basically voluntary? (leddit.danmark.party)

I'm interested in the new conscription policy being proposed.

From what I've read, women would be required to register for the lottery and service would be extended to 11 months.

My current understanding is that conscription in Denmark is basically voluntary. If you say you don't want to do it, they won't pick you? How exactly does that work if there's a lottery?

And would that change with the new policy?

I would assume you could do it after, but I'm honestly not sure.

But all men, except those who are deemed unqualified for service, will have to participate, usually a couple months after turning 18, but it can be delayed if you're studying.

and if there are enough volunteers, they just don't conduct the lottery?

I'm honestly not sure, but I would assume they do since it's part of a whole since not getting called in comes with a caveat that you still could hypothetically get called in in the future if a foreign nation declares war on Denmark and since the lottery is part of a whole event hosted by our military, so I assume it's kind of a "might as well" thing.

The ‘lottery’ is a number that each person gets rather early in the process. If you’re number 1, you’re going in if they need even 1 person, etc. If you’re number 119.326, you’re in the clear…

After getting your number you could still volunteer and gain the benefits given to volunteers, like preferential postings, etc.
