The Danish local elections of 2001 were held on 20 November 2001. 4647 municipal council members were elected to 271 municipal councils, as well as members of 13 counties of Denmark. Previously, there were 14 counties and 275 municipalities, but the county of Bornholm was merged with its 5 constituent municipalities 1 January 2003 to form the Bornholm Regional Municipality. The voters of Bornholm elected the councillors in this election to lead the new entity from January 2003. The county and county council of Bornholm just continued its work until 2002 while the new Bornholm Regional Municipality was being built from the 6 old entities. From 1 January 2003 until 31 December 2006, Bornholm was both a municipality and a county, thereafter becoming a part of Region Hovedstaden and losing most of its county privileges.
