2016 Preston City Council election
(Redirected from Preston City Council election, 2016)
Elections to Preston City Council took place on 5 May 2016, the same day as other local elections. The council is elected in thirds, which means one councillor from each three-member ward and selected councillors from a number of two-member wards are elected each year, followed by one year free from any elections to ensure all councillors serve a full term.
Due to the "in thirds" system, the 2016 election results below are directly compared with the corresponding elections in 2012, with the change in vote share calculated on this basis.
