Background

Following the 2021 election, Mogens Jespersen from Venstre was re-elected for a third consecutive term as mayor of Mariagerfjord Municipality. [3] [4] However, Jespersen will not seek re-election in this election. [5] Instead, Jesper Skov Mikkelsen will be the mayoral candidate for Venstre. [6]

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. Mariagerfjord Municipality had 29 seats in 2025.

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