The next scheduled election to elect members to Ipswich Borough Council will be held on Thursday 2 May 2024.
Ipswich Borough Council has 48 Councillors across the 16 wards of Ipswich, with each ward having three Councillors as their elected representatives. Councillors are elected in thirds (16 at a time) and for a period of 4 years.
If you were planning to vote in person or are someone’s proxy, but find you can’t visit a polling station, you’ll be able to apply for an emergency proxy vote up until 5pm on polling day.
The voting process should be accessible to all voters. All voters should be able to register and cast their vote without barriers. We offer a range of support for voters with disabilities to vote independently or with assistance.
