Following the 2017 Halsnæs municipal election, Steffen Jensen from the Social Democrats had won the mayor's position from Venstre.[1]
In this election, the Social Democrats would win their first absolute majority since the 2007 municipal reform, and for this reason, it was clear that Steffen Jensen would win a second term.[2][3]
Despite having the absolute majority, the Social Democrats managed to make a constitution that all the 21 seats in municipal council could agree on.[4]
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. Halsnæs Municipality had 21 seats in 2021
Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
