The 2017 Highland Council election was held on 4 May 2017 to elect members of Highland Council. The election used the 21 wards created under the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004; each ward elected three or four Councillors using the single transferable vote system (a form of proportional representation). A total of 74 Councillors were elected, six less than in 2012.
Following the 2012 election an administration was formed between the Scottish National Party, the Scottish Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Labour Party. This was the first time that the Independents had not had any role in the administration of the Council. However, later in the 2012–17 term, this administration fell and the Independent group instead ruled as a minority.[1]
After this election, the Independent, Liberal Democrat and Labour groups formed a coalition administration.[1]
Election result
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. These are also direct comparisons of seat change, not comparisons to 'notional' results as used in the national results, as such there is a net loss of six seats in the Net gain/loss column.
