Oxfordshire local elections: Full list of who is running

The county will be going to the polls on Thursday, May 4.

Councillors are elected for four year terms and the electoral cycles vary according to the council.

These elections also mark the first time voters will need to bring photographic identification at polling stations before being given a ballot paper to vote.

This is a result of the Elections Act 2022 and an elector’s chosen proxy will also be required to show photo ID before they vote.

Here is our full list of all the wards and the candidates who are contesting these wards.
