Mayor before election Anders Gerner Frost Nytgribskov Mayor after election Bent Hansen  [ dk ] Venstre

Prior to the 2017 election, only the Conservatives and Venstre had held the mayor's position in the municipality. ^[a] However, in the 2017 election, local party Nytgribskov had managed to win the mayor's position after an agreement with the Social Democrats and the Red–Green Alliance. ^[1]

In this election, Conservatives would become the largest party, the first time for the party in the municipality. ^[b] However, Bent Hansen  [ dk ] from Venstre managed to get a majority supporting him as the mayor. The agreement would be with the Social Democrats, the Social Liberals, Nytgribskov, the Green Left and Red–Green Alliance. ^{[2] [3]}

Electoral system

For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council. The seats are then allocated using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation. Gribskov Municipality had 23 seats in 2021

Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
