Elections to Dundee City Council were held on 4 May 2017 on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. The election used the eight wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, with each ward electing three or four Councillors using the single transferable vote system (a form of proportional representation). A total of 29 Councillors were elected.
After the 2012 election a Scottish National Party (SNP) administration had been formed. In 2017 the SNP lost 2 seats reducing their numbers to 15, being one seat short of an overall majority. They formed an administration with the support of the Independent Ian Borthwick.
2017 Results
Note: "Votes" are the first preference votes. The net gain/loss and percentage changes relate to the result of the previous Scottish local elections on 3 May 2012. This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at dissolution of Scotland's councils.
