Tulketh returns three members to Preston City Council, elected 'in thirds' in first past the post elections each year. The ward is currently represented by three Labour councillors.
The ward forms part of the Lancashire County Council electoral division of Preston Central South. Tulketh is commonly thought of as part of Ashton on Ribble.
The name Tulketh is of Cumbric origin.[3] The first element is tul meaning "hollow, hole, cave", while the second, -cę:d, means "woodland, forest" (c.f Welshtwll-coed).[3] A common compound-formation in Welsh and Cornish toponymy, the name implies an appellative meaning of "broken woodland".[3]
From the 2001 census, Tulketh ward had a population of 6,886. Of this figure, just under three-quarters (74.5) described themselves as Christian. Over 10% of the population are retired, and just under 10% are students. Here is a 2011 ethnic breakdown of Tulketh.
