West Oxfordshire 2022
Local elections held 5 May 2022.
Each race compares the marginal winner's share of valid ballots to the proportional quota — the share they'd need under any common proportional method. How the numbers are derived →
If votes were counted by party
Across the 16 wards in this cycle, parties received the vote totals below. The proportional column shows what each party would have won if the 16 seats had been shared out in proportion to votes received (how, with caveats). The Δ column is the actual seat count minus the proportional seat count — positive numbers are parties First-Past-the-Post over-represented; negative are parties it under-represented.
| Party | Votes | Vote % | Seats won | % of seats | Proportional seats | Proportional % | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative Party | 7,964 | 37.4% | 4 | 25.0% | 6 | 37.5% | -2 |
| Liberal Democrats | 7,681 | 36.0% | 8 | 50.0% | 6 | 37.5% | +2 |
| Labour Party | 4,105 | 19.3% | 3 | 18.8% | 3 | 18.8% | 0 |
| Green Party | 1,367 | 6.4% | 1 | 6.3% | 1 | 6.3% | 0 |
| Independent | 164 | 0.8% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |
| Heritage Party | 39 | 0.2% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |

Vote share vs seats won
The top bar is each party's share of votes cast in this council. Below, one square per seat, coloured by the party that won it — first the actual First-Past-the-Post result, then what a proportional method would have produced from the same vote totals. Divergence between the bar and the actual grid is the indictment of the method.
Council composition: what this election replaced
Two opencouncildata snapshots: the council immediately after the 2022 election (current) and immediately before it (2021). Only ~⅓ of seats were contested in 2022 — most of the bench is unchanged, and the cycle's effect on the overall composition is what shifts.
