Following the resignation of Oxford City Councillor Nadine Bely-Summers, there will be a by-election in the Littlemore ward to fill the vacancy.
There will also be a by-election in the County Council division of Rose Hill and Littlemore. For further information go the County Council's website.
Both elections will take place on 2 March.
The Elections Act 2022 - voter ID
Parliament passed the Elections Act last year. The Act will introduce significant changes to the way elections and electoral registration are run in England, including that electors will have to provide ID at polling stations in order to vote. However, none of the provisions in the Act will come into force until May 2023, so these by-elections will be run according the existing statutory framework.
