Who has been running your council?

Scotland's 32 local authorities will be holding elections on Thursday, 3 May.

More than 1,200 council seats will be up for grabs for the first time since 2007. Local authorities will use the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system, where electors rank candidates in order of preference.

There will be no overnight counting. Votes will be counted electronically the day after polls close.
