The 2025 Jammerbugt Municipal election will be held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 27 members to sit in the regional council for the Jammerbugt Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Mogens Christen Gade from Venstre won his fifth consecutive term as mayor of Jammerbugt Municipality.[2] However, prior to this election, it was revealed that Christen Gade would only seek re-election as a council member, and not continue as mayor.[3] It was later revealed that Venstre would put Christian Hem forward as their mayoral candidate.[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. Jammerbugt Municipality had 27 seats in 2025.

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