Mayor before election Anders Gerner Frost Nytgribskov Mayor after election Bent Hansen Venstre

Prior to the 2017 election, only the Conservatives and Venstre had held the mayor's position in the municipality. However, in the 2017 election, local party Nytgribskov had managed to win the mayor's position after an agreement with the Social Democrats and the Red–Green Alliance.

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

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.
