The 2024 Basildon Borough Council election is scheduled to be held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom being held on the same day.[1] It will elect all 42 members to the council.
Background[edit]
The council usually elects members in thirds every year except the 4th in a four-year cycle.[2] However, due to a boundary review of the wards by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, all 42 seats to Basildon Borough Council are up for election.[3] At the previous election, held in 2023, the Conservative Party increased their majority by 1 seat, for a total of 26 seats held by the party, keeping the council under Conservative control.[2][4]
