The last Local Government and Scottish Parliamentary Elections were held on Thursday, 3 May 2007.
At the last election, the method of voting in the Local Government Elections changed to a form of proportional representation known as Single Transferable Vote (STV). With the introduction of STV, larger multi-member wards have been created which will be served by several Councillors, each Ward electing either 3 or 4 Councillors for a normal term of 4 years.
