The 2025 Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipal election will be held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 29 members to sit in the regional council for the Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] The election saw a significant result for the Denmark Democrats. Mads Fuglede sought the mayoral position, and looked successful, initially securing the first mayoral position for the party in history.[2] However, Green Left dropped out of the deal, and eventually the Conservatives, who won the mayoral position on a deal between Venstre, the Social Democrats, Green Left and the Conservatives.[3] This would see Lennart Qvist, the only elected politician from the Conservatives in the election, become the next mayor.[4]

Following the 2021 election, Hans Østergaard from Venstre became mayor for his second term.[5] However, he announced in August 2024, that we he would not seek a third term.[6] Instead, Lone Andersen would be the mayoral candidate from Venstre.[7]
