The 2022 West Lothian Council election was held on 5 May 2022, on the same day as the 31 other local authorities in Scotland.

Following the election, it was announced Labour would run the council as a minority administration with loose coalition support from the four Conservative councillors, the Independent Stuart Borrowman and Liberal Democrat, Sally Pattle.

Following the result, the Labour and Conservative groups worked together in the chamber to hold a majority,[2] although both parties denied this claim.

Each ward elected either three or four councillors, using the single transferable vote (STV) electoral system – a form of proportional representation – where candidates are ranked in order of preference.

The council resembles the set up after the previous election, with Labour running a minority administration with loose coalition support from the four Conservative councillors, the Independent Stuart Borrowman and Liberal Democrat, Sally Pattle.
