Govan Ward (2017) within Glasgow

Govan (Ward 5) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council. Since its creation in 2007 it has returned four council members, using the single transferable vote system.[2] The ward's size became smaller for the 2017 Glasgow City Council election, but it continued to return four councillors.

  • 84.1% White Scottish / British / Irish / Other
