The 2024 Reading Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Reading Borough Council in Berkshire, England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections.
Prior to the election, the council was under Labour majority control. The leader of the council, Jason Brock, did not stand for re-election in 2024.[2]
The election saw Labour retain its majority on the council.[3] Following the election, Labour chose Liz Terry to be their new group leader. She was formally appointed as leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2024.[4] [5]
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Reading Borough Council following the close of nominations on 8 April 2024.[6] Votes were counted overnighted and the results published on the council's website on 3 May.[7]
