{{main|Glasgow City Council elections}}
The council consists of 85 [[councillor]]s elected for a five-year term from 23 [[wards (UK)|wards]]. Since 2007 elections have been held every five years under the [[single transferable vote]] system, introduced by the [[Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004]] to replace the [[First-past-the-post voting|first-past-the-post]] system.

The most recent full council election took place on 5 May 2022, in which no party held a majority of the seats, as had also been the case in the preceding 2017 election. The [[Scottish National Party]] remained the largest party, winning 37 seats, whilst [[Scottish Labour|Labour]] won 36 seats, an increase relative to its 2017 result. The [[Scottish Greens|Greens]] won ten seats, also improving on their position in 2017, whilst the [[Scottish Conservatives|Conservatives]] lost all but two councillors.

The next election is due to take place on 6 May 2027. Election results since 1995 have been as follows:<ref name=compositions/>
