The 2024 Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom, which were held on the same day. It elected all 59 councillors to the Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council for a four-year term, ending in 2028. Labour retained their majority on the council.
Electoral process The council elects its councillors every four years. The election took place by first-past-the-post voting, with wards being represented by two or three councillors.
