The 2024 Winchester City Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Winchester City Council in Hampshire, England.[2] This was on the same day as other local elections across England, and Hampshire's and the Isle of Wight's Constabulary Police and Crime Commissioner election.
There were 14 of the 45 seats on the council up for election, being the usual approximate third of the council. Not all wards had a seat open for election: the two wards Upper Meon Valley and Colden Common & Twyford will next be contested in 2026. The council was already under Liberal Democrat majority control; their majority increased at this election.[3]
The Statements of Persons Nominated was released by Winchester City Council on 8 April 2024 following the close of nominations.[4] Sitting councillors standing for re-election are marked with an asterisk (*).
By-election triggered by resignation of Liberal Democrat councillor George Prest.[5]
