The 2016 Woking Borough Council election took place on 5 May 2016 to elect members of Woking Borough Council in England. This was on the same day as other elections across the UK and the Police and Crime Commissioner election for Surrey Police.
Boundary changes coincided with a shrinking of the council, so all seats were up for election. In each ward, 3 candidates were elected, with the leading candidate being elected for 4 years, the second-placed candidate being elected for 3 years and the third-placed candidate being elected for 2 years. As a result, there will be no borough elections in 2017, but a third of the council will be up for re-election in each of 2018, 2019 and 2020 (when there will also be a general election in the UK, provided the government does not fall sooner).
