2024 Bury Metropolitan Borough Council election

The 2024 Bury Metropolitan Borough Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom on the same day. One third of councillors - 17 out of 51 members - of Bury Metropolitan Borough Council were up for election. The council remained under Labour majority control.

Summary
Prior to the election, the council was under Labour majority control. Local party Bury Independents contested the election for the first time, but did not win any seats. Labour gained a seat from the Conservatives to increase their majority on the council.

Electoral process
The council generally elects its councillors in thirds, with a third being up for election every year for three years, with no election in the fourth year. The election was conducted using the first-past-the-post voting system, with each ward electing one councillor.

All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) living in Bury aged 18 or over were entitled to vote in the election. People who lived at two addresses in different councils, such as university students with different term-time and holiday addresses, were entitled to be registered for and vote in elections in both local authorities. Voting in-person at polling stations took place from 07:00 to 22:00 on election day, and voters were able to apply for postal votes or proxy votes in advance of the election.
