Mayors in the municipalities
The mayors (Danish: Шаблон:Lang; plural: Шаблон:Lang) of the 98 municipalities head the council meetings and are the chairmen of the finance committee in each of their respective municipalities. Only in Copenhagen, this mayor – the head of the finance committee and council meetings – is called the lord mayor (Danish: Шаблон:Lang). Mette Touborg is the mayor of Lejre Municipality since 1 January 2010. She is the only one at presentШаблон:As of? from the Socialist People's Party to hold the highest political post in a municipality.

Old and new mayors in the municipalities
The term of office for the mayors elected by the majority of councillors among its members in each municipal council is the same as for the councils elected, namely 1 January 2014 until 31 December 2017. The correct name for the municipality on the somewhat remote island of Bornholm is regional municipality because the municipality also handles tasks not carried out by the other Danish municipalities but by the regions. As just one example, as the only one of the 46 municipalities in eastern Denmark it is a 100% owner of its own public mass transit agency called BAT, formerly Bornholms Amts Trafikselskab. The public traffic agency of the other 45 municipalities in eastern Denmark is Movia, owned by the Capital Region of Denmark, Region Zealand and the 45 municipalities.
