In this election, Conservatives would become the largest party, the first time for the party in the municipality.[lower-alpha 2] However, Bent Hansen from Venstre managed to get a majority supporting him as the mayor. The agremeent would be with the Social Democrats, the Danish Social Liberal Party, Nytgribskov, the Green Left and Red–Green Alliance.[2][3]

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. Gribskov Municipality had 23 seats in 2021

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