Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Elections to Preston City Council took place on 3 May 2012,[1] the same day as other 2012 United Kingdom local elections.
Preston 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.
Two wards will have 'double elections' due to early resignations.
Due to the "in thirds" system, the 2012 election results below are directly compared with the corresponding elections in 2008, with the change in vote share calculated on this basis. Other elections can be found at Preston local elections.
