Maribyrnong City Council is composed of seven single-member wards. Prior to the 2024 election, it was composed of three multi-member wards (two two-member wards and one three-member ward), but the electoral structure has changed as a result of the Local Government Act 2020.

On 6 August 2024, Labor councillor and former mayor Sarah Carter died.[17] No countback was held in River Ward because of the proximity of the 2024 election.[18]

The Labor Party, which endorsed six candidates in 2020, did not recontest Maribyrnong. A group of Labor members known as "Community Labor for Maribyrnong" endorsed 11 candidates.[19]
