• Source: 2008 Preston City Council election

Elections to Preston City Council took place on 1 May 2008.
Preston council is elected "in thirds" which means one councillor 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 2004 Preston Council election.




Summary


In this summary, "seats" represent the number of wards each party are defending. In two cases this year, the winning candidate in 2004 has since defected to another party, but for comparison the defending party is that from 2004.

In this summary box, The Left List are a party split from RESPECT - The Unity Coalition.
