District councils
This page describes the work of the five district councils in Oxfordshire.
District councillors also represent geographical areas called a ward and these areas are smaller than the county council divisions. The number of councillors on each district council varies.

District councils can have their elections in one of three ways:

By halves - one half of the council's seat being elected every two years
Whole council elections - all seats contested once every four years
