This was the fifth election to the regional council following the implementation of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. The election used the 57 electoral divisions (wards) created by the Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in 1978. In 1986, in between the Initial and Second Reviews of Electoral Arrangements, some electoral divisions were divided or merged, and so the council grew from 54 seats in 1986 to 57 in 1990. Each electoral division elected one councillor using first-past-the-post voting.Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements https://webarchive.nrscotland.gov.uk/public/20190111180218/http://www.lgbc-scotland.gov.uk/reports/eareports1st.asp 28 August 2026 Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland LGBCS Reports 22, 90, 95 Results 1990 Grampian Regional Council election result Labour Party (UK) 19 2 0 2 33.3 24.8 39,588 0.5 Scottish National Party 14 6 0 6 24.6 26.6 42,306 10.6 Scottish Liberal Democrats 11 1 3 2 19.3 17.0 27,129 8.5 Scottish Conservative Party 10 0 6 6 17.5 23.3 37,138 3.9 Independent (politician) 3 1 1 5.3 6.9 10,947 1.3 Scottish Green 0 0 0 0.0 1.1 1,663 0.6 Scottish Militant Labour 0 0 0 0.0 0.5 833 New Source:Bochel J.
