The 2024 Eastleigh Borough Council election was held on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Eastleigh Borough Council, taking place at the same time as other local elections across England. [1] 13 of the 39 seats of the council were up for election.

Contents

The council remained under Liberal Democrat majority control. Despite the Green Party newly fielding candidates in nearly every ward, ultimately this had little impact on the council's results. Every single seat up for election was held by its incumbent party, meaning no seats changed hands. [2] [3]
