One third of seats in the Cherwell district were contested this year.
There are three seats in each of the 16 district wards, but with elections being held by thirds, just one seat in each ward is due for election three years out of four.
Usually the year without district elections is the year of county council elections, but the cycle was affected by the postponement of the 2020 elections due to the pandemic.
In Banbury there are 15 district councillors representing five wards, while in Bicester there are 12 district councillors representing four wards.
In Kidlington there are six district councillors representing two wards and across the rural areas there are five wards and 15 district councillors.
