Background

Following the 2021 election Thomas Kastrup-Larsen from the Social Democrats won the mayoral position of Aalborg Municipality for a third term. [2] However, Kastrup-Larsen would resign as mayor in March 2023, in what TV2 described as a shock statement. [3] Following this, Lasse Frimand Jensen took over the job, also from the Social Democrats, as mayor of the municipality. [4]

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. Aalborg Municipality had 31 seats in 2025.

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