The 2024 Colchester City Council election is due to take place on 2 May 2024 alongside other local elections across England. [1] Eighteen members of the council are due to be elected, one from each of the wards, with an additonal by-election in Greenstead ward. [2] [3]
This set of seats were last up for election at the 2021 election. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council election (then Borough) scheduled for 2020 was postponed one year to 2021. This resulted in the terms of councillors elected at the 2021 election being truncated to 3-years rather than the usual 4-years.
In addition to the seventeen regular members up for election, there will be a by-election in Greenstead ward due to the resignation of Cllr Molly Bloomfield.
