Cherwell District Council By-Elections
Following the resignations of Councillor Andrew McHugh (Deddington ward), Councillor Sean Woodcock (Banbury Grimsbury & Hightown) and Councillor Matt Hodgson (Banbury Cross & Neithrop), vacancies exist on Cherwell District Council. Valid requests for each of the vacancies to be filled by election have been submitted to the Returning Officer.
The Returning Officer has determined that the by-elections will be held on 1 May 2025, combined with the scheduled elections to Oxfordshire County Council.
With the exception of the counting of votes, the timetable for the election is the same for both the scheduled county elections and district by-elections. The count for the by-elections will take place at the close of poll on Thursday 1 May.
Please note that separate poll cards and postal votes will be issued for the district by-elections, i.e. they will not be combined with the County Council poll cards and postal votes.
The Notice of Election is available at the following link
The Statement of Persons Nominated for each district ward will be published as soon as practicable after the close of nominations, 4pm on Wednesday 2 April.
