The 2022 Midlothian Council election took place on 5 May 2022 as part of the 2022 Scottish local elections. The election used the seven wards created under the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, with 23 councillors being elected. Each ward elected three members, using the STV electoral system.[1]
For the first time, the Scottish National Party emerged as the largest party on the council with eight seats, with Scottish Labour winning seven and the Scottish Conservatives three.[2]
On 24 May, the SNP group announced that it had secured support to run a minority administration in Midlothian.[3] Kelly Parry was elected leader of the council with Debbi McCall serving as provost.[4]
