The 2021 Oxford City Council election took place on 6 May 2021, due to the postponement of local elections due to be held in 2020, [1] and was to elect all 48 members of Oxford City Council. This was on the same day as the other local elections in England. Each of Oxford's 24 wards elect two councillors.

Contents

The Labour Party was again defending its majority on the council, which it had controlled since 2008.

Background

Oxford City Council was subject to a boundary review following the 2018 election [2] and thus all the seats were up for election. This was the first election held with new boundaries since 2002. [3]
