2017 Perth and Kinross Council election


Elections to Perth and Kinross Council were held on 4 May 2017, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. The election covered the twelve wards created as a result of the Local Governance Act 2004, with each ward electing three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system a form of proportional representation, with 40 Councillors being elected, a reduction of 1 member compared to 2012.
Following the 2012 election a Scottish National Party minority administration took over the running of the Council with the support of the Scottish Conservatives. After this election, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrat groups formed a coalition with independents to run the administration. The sole Labour councillor, Alasdair Bailey, was initially named as part of the coalition, but soon insisted that he was not.
