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?

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.
