The 2025 Tønder Municipal election will be held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 31 members to sit in the regional council for the Tønder Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029. Jørgen Popp Petersen from Schleswig Party, would secure re-election.
Background Following the 2021 election, Jørgen Popp Petersen from the Schleswig Party became mayor for his first term, and the party's first mayor since 1946. In the 2021 election, the newly created local party Tønder Listen, won the most seats, but lost the mayoral position to the Schleswig Party. The party leader, Henrik Frandsen, later became an MF following the 2022 Danish general election. Following this, Frandsen announced on 8 January, 2024 that he intended to drop out of local politics. Popp Petersen did however, seek the mayoral position again and to be re-elected. In September 2025, it was revealed that Popp Petersen had been reported to the police 8 times between 2019 and 2024, on breaking the law on his pig farm.
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. Tønder Municipality had 31 seats in 2025.
