The 2025 Rebild Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 23 members to sit in the regional council for the Rebild Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] Jesper Greth would once again win the mayoral position. [2]

Background

Following the 2021 election, a constitution was announced, that would see Jesper Greth, from Venstre, becoming mayor.[3] It was already decided in May 2024, that Greth would seek re-election as Venstre's mayoral candidate for the 2025 election. [4]

The municipal council will elect 23 members this election, contrary to 25 in the previous. [5]

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. Rebild Municipality had 23 seats in 2025.

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