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

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.
