The 2024 Fareham 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. All 32 members of Fareham Borough Council in Hampshire will be elected following boundary changes.
Since its creation in 1974, only the Conservatives have ever formed majorities on the council. The party has held majorities on the council for its entire history, except between 1986 and 1987, and between 1994 and 1999.[1] The Liberal Democrats briefly overtook the Conservatives as the largest party in this second period of no overall control, but never formed a majority.
In the most recent election, the Conservatives gained 2 seats with 45.7% of the vote, the Liberal Democrats maintained their 5 seats with 25.7%, and independents won 1 with 3.9%.
Fareham usually elects its councillors in halves, on a 4-year cycle. However, following boundary changes, all councillors will be elected to the new wards.[2] The change increases the number of councillors by 1.
