Following the 2021 election, Per Bach Laursen from Venstre, became mayor for his second consecutive term. [2][3] In March 2025, it was revealed that Bach Laursen would be the mayoral candidate from Venstre again in 2025. [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. Vesthimmerland Municipality had 27 seats in 2025.
Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
