2017 West Dunbartonshire Council election

The 2017 West Dunbartonshire Council election was held on Thursday 4 May 2017, on the same day as the 31 other local authorities in Scotland. The election used the six wards created under the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, with 22 Councillors being elected. Each ward will elect either 3 or 4 members, using the STV electoral system.

Following the 2012 election a Labour majority administration was formed. After this election, the SNP group and Councillor Denis Agnew formed a minority coalition administration, led by the SNP leader, Jonathan McColl. As part of the deal, the title of bailie was revived, and Councillor Agnew was appointed as West Dunbartonshire's first. The 2017 election marked the first time that Conservatives were elected to the Council in its history.
