The local government elections in Scotland in May 2007 used the single transferable vote system of proportional representation to elect 1,222 councillors to 32 councils. The Election Rules specified the Weighted Inclusive Gregory Method for transferring surpluses. This was the first time this method had been used for public elections anywhere in the world. The votes were counted electronically, the first time this had been done for public elections on an all‐Scotland basis. This paper provides a detailed description of the counting procedure in accordance with the rules adopted in Scotland
