Govan (Ward 5) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council.[2] Since its creation in 2007 it has returned four council members, using the single transferable vote system.[3] 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
