The 2025 Aalborg Municipal election will be held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 31 members to sit in the regional council for the Aalborg Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1]
Background
Following the 2021 election Thomas Kastrup-Larsen from the Social Democrats won the mayoral position of Aalborg Municipality for a third term.[2] However, Kastrup-Larsen would resign as mayor in March 2023, in what TV2 described as a shock statement.[3] Following this, Lasse Frimand Jensen took over the job, also from the Social Democrats, as mayor of the municipality.[4]
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. Aalborg Municipality had 31 seats in 2025.
Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
