The 2021 North Denmark Regional election was held on November 16, 2021, to elect the 41 members to sit in the regional council for the North Denmark Region, in the period of 2022 to 2025.
Prior to this election, and ever since the creation of the 5 Danish regions in the 2007 Municipal reform, the Social Democrats had been the largest party and held the chairperson's seat for North Denmark, and following the 2017 election, Ulla Astman had secured her third consecutive term as the chairperson .[a][1]
In this election, Astman would stand to get elected for a fourth term while Mads Duedahl from Venstre would be the main candidate for the opposition. In a result that was seen as a surprise,[2][3] the parties commonly associated with the blue bloc of Danish politics had won 21 seats, and a change of control became a possibility. On the night following the election results, Mads Duedahl gave an interview announcing that he had found a majority to back him as the new chairperson.[4]
After the result, the 2020 Danish mink cull was seen as a possible reason to the Social Democrats losing control of the regional council for the first time.[5][6]
