Elections to South Lanarkshire 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 using 20 new 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, a form of proportional representation, for a total of 67 seats. The new wards replaced 67 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election.
Labour lost control of the council to no overall control, something which the party suffered in many other parts of Scotland. Overall they lost 19 seats, most of which went to the Scottish National Party, although the Conservative Party also managed to double their number of seats.
