The 2025 Lolland Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 25 members to sit in the regional council for the Lolland Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029. ^[1] Marie-Louise Brehm Nielsen from the local party Din Stemme would win the mayoral position. ^[2]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Holger Schou Rasmussen from the Social Democrats became mayor for a third term. ^{[3] [4]} Despite being just a single seat short of an absolute majority in the last election, the Social Democrats held an absolute majority in the council, at a point prior to this election, following Eric Steffensen party switch from the Danish People's Party to the Social Democrats. ^[5]

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. Lolland Municipality had 25 seats in 2025.
