The 2024 Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024,[1] alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom, which were held on the same day. It elected all 59 councillors to the Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council for a four-year term, ending in 2028.[1] Labour retained their majority on the council.[2][3]

Electoral process

[edit]

The council elects its councillors every four years[4][5] The election took place by first-past-the-post voting, with wards being represented by two or three councillors.

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