Mayor before election

Mogens Christian Gade
Venstre

Mayor after election

Mikael Klitgaard
Venstre

Since its creation in the 2007 municipal reform, Mogens Christian Gade from Venstre had been mayor of Jammerbugt Municipality. In the previous election of 2017, Venstre won 14 and thereby a majority of seats for the first time.[1] Venstre would lose a seat and lose their one-party majority in this election. However, Venstre still became the biggest party with 5 more seats than the Social Democrats, and on December 2, 2021, an agreement for a constitution between Social Democrats, Green Left, Danish People's Party and Venstre were announced. This would result in Mogens Christian Gade continuing as mayor. [2]

Electoral system[edit]

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 2021

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