The 2025 Holbæk Municipal election will be held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 31 members to sit in the regional council for the Holbæk Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Christina Krzyrosiak Hansen from Social Democrats became mayor for her second term. [2] The result was seen as remarkable, as the Social Democrats won roughly 59%, an improvement of 30.3% [3] compared to the 2017 election.[4] Krzyrosiak Hansen also managed to 18,590 personal votes, the second highest number of personal votes of the 98 municipal elections held in 2021, [5] despite Holbæk only having 19th largest population of the 98 municipalities in Denmark. Krzyrosiak Hansen is set to run for a third term. [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.

Holbæk Municipality had 31 seats in 2025.
