The '''2024 Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council election''' was held on 2 May 2024, alongside the [[2024 United Kingdom local elections|other local elections across the United Kingdom]] being held on the same day. The council remained under [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] majority control.

Positions up for election in 2024 were last [[2021 Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council election|elected in 2021]]. The council is under Labour majority control since 2019.{{citation needed|date= March 2024}}

The [[Local Government Act 1972]] created a two-tier system of metropolitan counties and districts covering [[Greater Manchester]], [[Merseyside]], [[South Yorkshire]], [[Tyne and Wear]], the [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]], and [[West Yorkshire]] starting in 1974. Calderdale was a district of the West Yorkshire metropolitan county.<ref name=guide>{{cite book |title=Local Government in England and Wales: A Guide to the New System |year=1974 |publisher=[[HMSO]] |location=London |isbn=0-11-750847-0 |page=7 }}</ref> The [[Local Government Act 1985]] abolished the metropolitan counties, with metropolitan districts taking on most of their powers as [[metropolitan borough]]s. The [[West Yorkshire Combined Authority]] was established in 2014 and began electing the [[mayor of West Yorkshire]] in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=West Yorkshire devolution deal|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-yorkshire-devolution-deal|access-date=2022-01-22|website=GOV.UK|date=26 March 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

Calderdale Council was under [[no overall control]] with [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]], [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrat]] and [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] leaders until the Labour Party achieved a majority of seats in the [[2019 Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council election|2019 election]], when they gained four seats to hold 28 of the council's 51 seats. In the [[2023 Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council election|most recent election in 2023]], seventeen seats were up for election. Labour won ten seats, the Conservatives won four seats, Liberal Democrats won two seats and the Greens won one seat.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Healey |first=Shawna |date=2023-05-05 |title=Local elections 2023: Here are the full results for who has been elected to join Calderdale Council - see who won where you live |url=https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/politics/local-elections-2023-here-are-the-full-results-for-who-has-been-elected-to-join-calderdale-council-see-who-won-where-you-live-4132450 |access-date=2024-03-30 |website=Halifax Courier}}</ref>

~~== Electoral Process ==~~

The council elects its councillors in thirds, with a third being up for election for three consecutive years and no election in the fourth year. The election used [[first-past-the-post voting]], with wards generally being represented by three councillors, with one elected in each election year to serve a four-year term.{{citation needed|date= March 2024}}
