Previous stages
Consultation on proposals
We have proposed a new pattern of wards. We want to hear the views of local people and organisations to help us produce our recommendations for change.
As a result of our draft recommendations on new warding patterns, we are making changes to the electoral arrangements for the following parish/town councils:
Initial consultation
We ask local people and organisations to tell us about their communities.
Please note - We identified a misattribution of forecast electors in Vale of White Horse, based on outdated polling district boundaries. We updated 2029 figures for polling districts SGA, XAD2, and XAE2 on 19 January to reflect the correct figures.

The Vale of White Horse (Electoral Changes) Order 2014 was made on 8 January 2014.
The new arrangements came into effect at the May 2015 elections.
