2022 Oxford County municipal elections

Elections were held in Oxford County, Ontario on October 24, 2022, in conjunction with municipal elections across the province. Each municipality will elect a mayor and a local council, plus two city and county councillors from Woodstock. Trustees to the Thames Valley District School Board, London District Catholic School Board, and Conseil scolaire catholique Providence will also be elected. This election is expected to have more candidates than usual, particularly female, due to the launch of Municipal Campaign School Oxford.

Controversy
In early 2022, the Mayor of Woodstock Trevor Birtch was criminally charged by the London Police for assault, sexual assault, and sexual assault with choking. However, he did not resign from his position. He eventually took a paid leave of absence, and appeared in court on May 2 for the sexual assault with choking charge being dropped to a second sexual assault charge, and the matter was adjourned until June 6. Three additional charges of sexual assault, involving a different victim, were added to his case, which will first be put in court on July 4.
