The election was the first one using 20 new wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004,http://www.northlan.gov.uk/living+here/elections+and+voting/election+information/election+of+councillors.html Notice of Election - Election of Councillors 2007-05-02 https://web.archive.org/web/20070927043831/http://www.northlan.gov.uk/living+here/elections+and+voting/election+information/election+of+councillors.html 2007-09-27 dead each ward will elect three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation. The new wards replace 70 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election. Labour managed to retain control of the council, something which the party failed to do in many other parts of Scotland. Overall they lost 14 seats, most of which went to the Scottish National Party, although the individual seats won by the Conservative Party and the Scottish Liberal Democrats were noteworthy in that these parties had never been represented on North Lanarkshire Council before.
