Derby votes in a different (and more frequent) way than most other places.
City councillors are elected in thirds.
This means every ward has three seats, and every year for three years there is an election for one of those seats.
Every four years there is a year without any elections
Image source, PA MediaBBC East Midlands political editor Tony Roe said the system was seen as a way of ensuring more accountability.
But it has its drawbacks, with power changing hands frequently and long-term decision making becoming harder.
He added councillors had considered changing it but last year this was opposed by the ruling Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
