Uffe Jensen from Venstre was seeking a third term for this election. Despite coming behind the Social Democrats in the 2015 Danish general election and the 2019 Danish general election in votes of Odder municipality,[1][2] Venstre had become the largest party in the 2017 Odder municipal election.
In this election, Venstre would again become the biggest party, and retain 7 seats despite decreasing their vote share by 7.4%. Danish People's Party would however lose a seat, while the Social Liberals would gain 1. This meant that the parties of the traditional red bloc had a majority, and it was announced that Lone Jakobi from the Social Democrats would become the new mayor.[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. Odder Municipality had 19 seats in 2021
Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
