The 2024 Woking Borough Council election was held on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Woking Borough Council. 11 of the 30 seats of the council were up for election. The election took place at the same time as other local elections across England. [2] In addition to each ward having one contested seat, Hoe Valley had an additional seat available to fill the current casual vacancy.
The Liberal Democrats have controlled the majority of seats on the council since 2022, winning even more seats in the previous election to strengthen their hold. The Conservatives have continued to lose seats in every Woking Borough election since 2016, whereas the Labour Party has remained relatively stable at a handful of seats. Outside of independent councillors, no other party has a seat on the council, with no other party ever having won one since records began.
