Elections to Glasgow City Council were held on 3 May 2012, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. The election was the second using 21 new wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, each ward elected three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation.
The election in Glasgow attracted the most attention out of the local elections in Scotland as there were many predictions that the Scottish Labour would lose control of the council due to losses of seats to the Scottish National Party.Edward Debi 7 May 2012 SNP expected to 'snatch Glasgow from Labour' in Scottish elections ITV News http://www.itv.com/news/2012-05-04/snp-expected-to-snatch-glasgow-from-labour-in-scottish-elections/ dead https://web.archive.org/web/20121231144700/http://www.itv.com/news/2012-05-04/snp-expected-to-snatch-glasgow-from-labour-in-scottish-elections/ 31 December 2012 17 June 2021 The Labour administration had suffered from a number of defections of council members to the newly formed Glasgow First party and controversy surrounding Councillor's salaries and contracts.https://www.economist.com/britain/2012/04/28/two-left-feet Two left feet 28 April 2012 The Economist In the end, Labour remained in control, losing just one seat, while the SNP gained five. The Scottish Liberal Democrats were reduced to holding just one seat on the council, the same numbers as the Scottish Conservatives (who retained their solitary seat) and Glasgow First. The Scottish Greens retained five seats on the authority.
After the elections Labour again formed a controlling administration on the City Council.

It was announced by Glasgow City Council on Thursday 10 May 2012 that Box 139, containing approximately 385 papers, was not counted in the vote despite them being registered and scanned. Permission was obtained from Glasgow Sheriff Court to examine the ballots and rerun the calculation. The two highest scoring candidates were mathematically assured of their place, however the third candidate, Liam Hainey, could have had his election overturned.Mistake in election count process for Langside ward of Glasgow City Council http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/News/Langside+Ward+mistake.htm glasgow.gov.uk https://web.archive.org/web/20120602131526/http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/News/Langside+Ward+mistake.htm 2012-06-02 2012-05-10 dead After the ballots were rescanned on 16 May 2012 and the result recalculated, he retained his seat.Recount upholds election outcome, Glasgow Evening Times, 17 May 2012, Retrieved 17 May 2012
