Background

Following the 2021 election, Niels Jørgen Pedersen was elected as mayor for his party Venstre. [3] However in August 2024, he announced his decision to not stand for re-election. [4] However on February 25, 2025, he revealed that he was going to stand for re-election anyway. [5]

The Alternative party won a seat in the previous election, but chose not to stand any candidates for this election. [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. Thisted Municipality had 27 seats in 2025.

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