Elections to Dundee City Council were held on 3 May 2007, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections and the Scottish Parliament general election.
The election was the first one to use the new 8 wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004,[1] each ward will elect three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation. The new wards replace 29 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election.
The SNP had the largest number of seats but the council was initially controlled by a Labour and Liberal Democrat coalition, with the support of the Conservatives. This changed after a March 2009 by-election result tipped the balance in the SNPs favour.
