OXFORD PARISH COUNCIL ELECTIONS IN STATISTICS
Oxford has 4 parishes. The total population of the parishes at the 2021 census was 28,576, of which the most populous parishes were Blackbird Leys (13,467) and Littlemore (6,284).
The 4 parishes have standalone parish councils. 3 of the parishes are divided into wards, giving a total of 10 separate elections, comprising 62 parish council seats.
Blackbird Leys and Old Marston councils were elected in 2022 and come up for election again in 2026.
The 2 remaining parishes (Littlemore and Risinghurst and Sandhills) fall in 2024, comprising 7 separate elections with a total of 36 seats.
These elections attracted 25 candidates (6 Independent Oxford Alliance, 5 Littlemore Together and 14 No Description).
The 7 separate elections in 2024 break down as 1 contested, 1 with an exact number of candidates to fill the vacancies, 3 with a shortfall of candidates and 2 with no candidates at all.
Of the 25 candidates nominated, 16 are in contention for 13 seats and 9 are returned unopposed. This leaves a shortfall of 14 seats, all of which will be filled by co-option.
Only the Littlemore ward of Littlemore parish is contested with 6 Independent Oxford Alliance, 5 Littlemore Together and 5 No Description chasing 13 seats.
All parishes are quorate.
