The 2025 Læsø Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 9 members to sit in the regional council for the Læsø Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] The result saw the Conservatives win 5 seats, resulting in an absolute majority. Despite, Thomas W. Olsen receiving the highest number of personal votes, [2] [3] Niels Odgaard, the party's mayoral candidate, would win the mayoral poisition. [4] The Social Democrats would fail to win any seats, marking the first time since the structural reform in 2007, that they were not represented in all 98 municipal councils. [5]
Background
Since the 2009 Læsø municipal election, no mayor has been elected for two terms in a row. Incumbent mayor at the time of election was Tobias Birch Johansen from Venstre, who were the only party to win at least 3 seats in the 2021 election.[6] In April 2025, Birch Johansen, revealed that he would not seek re-election in 2025.[7]
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. Læsø Municipality had 9 seats in 2025
