The 2025 Skive Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 27 members to sit in the regional council for the Skive Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] Alfred Brunsgaard from Venstre won the mayoral position following the election, and will take over from his party colleague Peder Kirkegaard. [2]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Peder Christian Kirkegaard won the mayoral position for a third term in a row.[3] However, Christian Kirkegaard announced in August 2024, his decision to stand for another term following this election.[4] In November 2024, it was decided that Alfred Brunsgaard would become the new mayoral candidate of Venstre.[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. Skive Municipality had 27 seats in 2025.

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