The 2025 Struer Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 21 members to sit in the regional council for the Struer Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] Following the election it was revealed that Marianne Bredal could continue as mayor. [2]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Mads Jakobsen from Venstre became mayor of Struer Municipality. [3] [4] However, Jakobsen, stepped out of politics in November 2023, due to stress. [5] Following this, Marianne Bredal, from Venstre as well, took over the position as mayor. [6] She was the leading candidate for the party in this election. [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. Struer Municipality had 21 seats in 2025.

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