The 2023 West Oxfordshire District Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of West Oxfordshire District Council in Oxfordshire, England.[2] This was on the same day as other local elections in England. There were 17 of the 49 seats on the council being contested, being the usual nominal third of the council.
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control. The Conservatives were the largest party, but the council was run by a coalition of the Liberal Democrats, Labour and Greens, led by Liberal Democrat councillor Andy Graham. The council remained under no overall control after the election; the Liberal Democrats overtook the Conservatives to become the largest party, and the same coalition continued to run the council.[3] [4]
The overall turnout was 36.37%, from an electorate of 64,450 people.[5]
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by West Oxfordshire District Council following the close of nominations on 4 April 2023.[6] The results by ward were as below.[7]
