The 2025 Guldborgsund Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 29 members to sit in the regional council for the Guldborgsund Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029. ^[1] Simon Hansen from the Social Democrats, would secure re-election. ^[2]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Simon Hansen from Social Democrats became mayor for his first term, and overtook the position, which had been held by Guldborgsundlisten ever since the 2009 election. ^[3] John Brædder would attempt to regain the position as mayor in this election, having won the candidacy for Guldborgsundlisten, the party that he himself started in 2001. ^[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. Guldborgsund Municipality had 29 seats in 2025.
