The 2025 Helsingør Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 25 members to sit in the regional council for the Helsingør Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] Following the election result, Thomas Holm looked set to become the next mayor. However, a mistake was detected in regards to the counting of votes at Hornbæk Skole, and a recount showed that the parties backing Thomas Holm from the Social Democrats did not have a majority. [2] Following thism Benedikte Kiær from the Conservatives, would secure re-election. [3]
Following the 2021 election, Benedikte Kiær from Conservatives became mayor for her third term. [4] This election was described by Helsingør Dagblad, to likely be a battle between the continuation of Benedikte Kiær or a flip to Thomas Horn from the Social Democrats. [5]
