In the 2017 election, the Conservatives had won 10 seats, just one short of an absolute majority. However, they found an agreement with the Social Democrats, and Sofie Osmani could continue for her 2nd term.[2]
In this election, they would however win an absolute majority, and Sofie Osmani was set to win a 4th term.[3][4]
Electoral system
editFor 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. Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality had 21 seats in 2021
Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
