Background
editHistory
editThe Local Government Act 1972 created a two-tier system of metropolitan counties and districts covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear, the West Midlands, and West Yorkshire starting in 1974. Oldham was a district of the Greater Manchester metropolitan county.[3] The Local Government Act 1985 abolished the metropolitan counties, with metropolitan districts taking on most of their powers as metropolitan boroughs. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority was created in 2011 and began electing the mayor of Greater Manchester in 2017, which was given strategic powers covering a region coterminous with the former Greater Manchester metropolitan county.[4]
Since its formation, Oldham Council has typically been under Labour control or no overall control, with a period of Conservative control from 1978–1980 and Liberal Democrat control from 2000–2002. Labour most recently gained overall control of the council in the 2011 election.
In July 2022 the Local Government Boundary Commission for England made The Oldham (Electoral Changes) Order 2022, officially abolishing all 20 existing wards and establishing 20 new wards with new boundaries. Because of this change all 60 seats on the council, three per ward, were contested.[5]

Electoral process
editThe election took place using the plurality block voting system, a form of first-past-the-post voting, with each ward being represented by three councillors. The candidate with the most votes in each ward will serve a four year term ending in 2027, the second-placed candidate will serve a three year term starting in 2026 and the third-placed candidate will serve a one year term ending in 2024.[5]
All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) living in Oldham aged 18 or over were entitled to vote in the election. People who lived at two addresses in different councils, such as university students with different term-time and holiday addresses, were entitled to be registered for and vote in elections in both local authorities. Voting in-person at polling stations took place from 07:00 to 22:00 on election day, and voters were able to apply for postal votes or proxy votes in advance of the election.

Since the elections, the three elected councillors from Hollinwood were suspended from the Conservative Party[7] in November 2023, forming the "Oldham Group" party. This has caused the composition of the council to change in November 2023, making the Liberal Democrats the official opposition.
