The eight multi-member wards; colours denote the winning party, as shown in the main table of results.
Elections to Dundee City Council were held on 4 May 2017 on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections . The election used the eight wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004 , with each ward electing three or four Councillors using the single transferable vote system (a form of proportional representation ). A total of 29 Councillors were elected.
After the 2012 election a Scottish National Party (SNP) majority administration of 16 was formed. In 2017 the SNP lost 2 seats reducing their numbers to 14, being one seat short of an overall majority. They formed an administration with the support of the Independent Ian Borthwick.
