Preston Council election, 2008

Preston Council election, 2008

Elections to Preston City Council took place on 01 May2008.

Preston council is elected "in thirds" which means one councilor from each three-member ward, and councillors from selected two-member wards, are elected each year, with one year free from all elections to ensure all councillors serve a full term.

Due to the "in thirds" system, these election results are compared to the Preston Council election, 2004.
