Elections to Clackmannanshire Council were held on 3 May 2012, the same day as the 31 other local authorities in Scotland. The election used the five wards created under the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, with 18 Councillors being elected. Each ward elected either 3 or 4 members, using the STV electoral system.
The election saw the Scottish National Party gain a seat and increase their vote share on the council to have the same number of seats as Labour. The Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party retained their single seat on the council and there remains a single Independent. The Scottish Liberal Democrats were wiped out losing their single seat.
After the election an SNP minority administration was formed with the support of the Independent Councillor. The Conservatives abstained on the vote.
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 2007. This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at dissolution of Scotland's councils.
† On 11 September 2016, Clackmannanshire North Cllr Archie Drummond joined the SNP and ceased to be an Independent.[1]
