===Wards===
[[File:East Dunbartonshire UK ward map 2017 (blank).svg|thumb|Map of the area's wards (2017 configuration)<ref name="ScotGov"/>]]
Since 2007, the council (as with all others in Scotland) has been elected using multi-member [[Wards of the United Kingdom|wards]], each returning three councillors using a [[single transferable vote]] system of [[proportional representation]]. Initially this retained the number of councillors at 24 following on from the same number of single-member wards in previous elections, divided equally across eight wards. However, a national boundary and population review prior to the [[2017 Scottish local elections]] led to the number of East Dunbartonshire wards being reduced to seven and the number of councillors being reduced to 22. These current wards are:<ref name="ScotGov">[https://statistics.gov.scot/atlas/resource?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fid%2Fstatistical-geography%2FS12000045 Council Area {{!}} East Dunbartonshire], [[Scottish Government]] Statistics.
