Elections to the City of Edinburgh Council were held on 3 May 2012, the same day as the Scottish local elections, 2012. The election was the second using 17 new wards created as a results of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, each ward elected three or four Councillors using the single transferable vote system a form of proportional representation system of election.

Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004 act of the Scottish Parliament making local elections be run under the single transferable vote

The Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004 is an Act of the Scottish Parliament which provided, amongst other things, for the election of councillors to the local authorities in Scotland by the single transferable vote system.

The single transferable vote (STV) is a voting system designed to achieve proportional representation through ranked voting in multi-seat organizations or constituencies. Under STV, an elector (voter) has a single vote that is initially allocated to their most preferred candidate. Votes are totalled and a quota derived. If their candidate achieves quota, he/she is elected and in some STV systems any surplus vote is transferred to other candidates in proportion to the voters' stated preferences. If more candidates than seats remain, the bottom candidate is eliminated with his/her votes being transferred to other candidates as determined by the voters' stated preferences. These elections and eliminations, and vote transfers if applicable, continue until there are only as many candidates as there are unfilled seats. The specific method of transferring votes varies in different systems.

The main feature of the Elections was the near obliteration of the Scottish Liberal Democrats as they collapsed from 17 to just 3 seats on the City Council which sees the party occupying the position as the smallest party. Their leader, and the leader of the Council, Jenny Dawe, lost her seat in Meadows/Morningside, epitomising the poor performance. The Scottish Labour Party replaced the Lib Dems as the largest party as they made 5 gains, winning 20 seats in total. The Scottish National Party became the second largest party gaining 6 seats and 18 seats in total. The Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party retained 11 seats on the Council while the Scottish Green Party doubled their seat numbers to 6.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats is a liberal and social-liberal political party in Scotland.

The Scottish Labour Party is the devolved Scottish section of the UK Labour Party.

The Scottish National Party is a Scottish nationalist and social-democratic political party in Scotland. The SNP supports and campaigns for Scottish independence. It is the second-largest political party by membership in the United Kingdom, behind the Labour Party and ahead of the Conservative Party, it is the third-largest by overall representation in the House of Commons, behind the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, and it is the largest political party in Scotland, where it has the most seats in the Scottish Parliament and 35 out of the 59 Scottish seats in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The current Scottish National Party leader, Nicola Sturgeon, has served as First Minister of Scotland since November 2014.

After the election a Coalition was formed between the Labour Party and the SNP. This replaced the previous Lib Dem – SNP Coalition which had existed from 2007-2012.
