The Angus Council election of 2022 will be held on 5 May 2022, the same day as the 31 other Scottish local government elections. Each ward will elect three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system, a form of proportional representation used since the 2007 election and according to the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004.

Background

Composition

After the 2017 election, a couple of changes in the composition of the council happened. Most were changes to the political affiliation of councillors including the Arbroath West, Letham and Friockheim who resigned from the Liberal Democrats and sat as an Independent after he was found to have inappropriately touched several women.[1]
