Oxford local elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxford City Council elections take place every two years when half the seats are up for election. Elections are held in even-numbered years; the next is due to take place in May 2008.
As vacancies arise between elections, by-elections are held to elect a replacement councillor.
