The 2016 Woking Borough Council election took place on 5 May 2016 to elect members of Woking Borough Council in England.^[1] This is 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).
