The 2025 Mariagerfjord Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 29 members to sit in the regional council for the Mariagerfjord Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] Jesper Skov Mikkelsen from Venstre would win the mayoral position, taking over from Mogens Jespersen of Venstre as well. [2]
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.
