In this election, no dramatic changes occurred. The Social Democrats, Liberal Alliance and Danish People's Party would all lose a seat. The Conservatives gained 1 seat, but did not come anywhere near the 9 seats Venstre won, despite having held the mayor's position before in the municipality. The New Right would win representation with 1 seat for the first time in the party's history, while the Green Left would win representation with 1 seat, for the first time since the 2009 election. Again the blue bloc had won 13 seats, and Pernille Beckmann looked likely to continue for a third term. This would later be confirmed.[2][3]

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. Greve Municipality had 21 seats in 2021

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