About the 2024 Local Elections
Following the recent boundary changes across our Borough, all the council seats are up for re-election. One of the main reasons for this is to have a similar number of residents in each ward. With the growing number of new homes in the Borough over the years, this had become a little uneven.
Going forward, Havant Borough will now be divided into 12 wards. Each ward will be represented by 3 elected members. Previously this wasn't the case for every ward. The four wards which used to cover Leigh Park and West Leigh will go and are replaced by Leigh Park Hermitage and Leigh Park Centrol & West Leigh.
Once elected, whoever gets the most votes in any ward will remain in office for 4 years. Whoever comes second will remain in office for 3 years. The person who comes third will remain in office for 2 years. When their time in office is up, the next election for that ward will be for someone to remain in office for 4 years.

Over 14,000 people were unable to vote on the day who turned up to vote.
