Following the 2017 election, Allan Andersen from the Social Democrats, had won his first term as mayor. [1]
In this election, it would become the fourth election in a row where the Social Democrats won 8 seats, and they would once again become the largest party. They would eventually agree with the Green Left and the Red–Green Alliance, that Allan Andersen should continue for a second term, and this would mark the 14th term in a row with the Social Democrats holding the mayor's position.

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. Tårnby Municipality had 19 seats in 2021
Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
