2024 Cannock Chase District Council election

The 2024 Cannock Chase District Council election took place on Thursday 2 May 2024 to elect councillors on Cannock Chase District Council in Staffordshire. All 36 seats on the council were elected following boundary changes. This election was held on the same day as other local elections in England and the election of Staffordshire's Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.

Background

Prior to the election, the council was under no overall control, being run by a coalition of Labour and the Greens, led by Labour councillor Tony Johnson.

After a review of the council's ward boundaries, the number of councillors was reduced from 41 to 36 and the number of wards was reduced from 15 to 12. This means that each ward will now elect exactly three councillors.

Boundary changes

Cannock Chase usually elects its councillors in thirds, on a four-year cycle. However, following boundary changes, all councillors will be elected to the new wards. The first-placed candidate will receive a four-year term, the second-placed candidate will receive a three-year term and the third-placed candidate will receive a two-year term.
