The 2025 Helsingør Municipal election will be held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 25 members to sit in the regional council for the Helsingør Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Benedikte Kiær from Conservatives became mayor for her third term. [2] This election was described by Helsingør Dagblad, to likely be a battle between the continuation of Benedikte Kiær or a flip to Thomas Horn from the Social Democrats. [3]

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. Helsingør Municipality had 25 seats in 2025.
