The 2024 Wokingham Borough Council election took place on Thursday 2 May 2024, to elect members of Wokingham Borough Council in Berkshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England. Due to boundary changes all seats were up for election. The main impact of the boundary changes is that all wards in the Borough are now three member wards; the number of seats remained the same at 54. The old warding system had a mix of one, two and three member wards.

Prior to the election, the council was under no overall control. The Liberal Democrats were the largest party and had been so since the 2022 election. At the 2024 election, the council remained under no overall control. The Liberal Democrats made a net gain of one seat, giving them exactly half the seats on the council, leaving them one seat short of a majority.

The composition of the council before the election was as follows:

↓

26	5	1	22
LD	LAB	IND	CON

After the election, the composition of the council became:

↓

27	8	19
LD	LAB	CON

After the 'all-up' elections in 2024, the Borough will continue to elect councilors by thirds, with one member in every ward being elected every year. 2025 will be a 'fallow year', i.e. a year with no elections with the next elections being in 2026, 2027 and 2028 and the next fallow year in 2029.

Adam would later write to the Socialist clarifying “Despite being 18 years old and eligible to vote in the 2 May election, they explained that I couldn’t stand, because the nomination deadline was three days before my 18th birthday.” Gillman was the only candidate whose nomination was not accepted by the Returning Officer in the election.
