[[Dundee City Council]] controls [[Dundee City council area]], which is one of Scotland's 32 [[Subdivisions of Scotland|council areas]]. The council area is divided into eight [[Ward (electoral subdivision)|wards]], used to elect members to the council to provide [[Local government in Scotland|local government]] services to the council area.
The boundaries for all Scottish council areas and their sub divisional wards are regulated and regularly reviewed by the [[Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland]]. The current ones were created in 2007 after the 29 existing single member wards were merged into 8 multi-member wards. Each of the eight wards in Dundee elects 3 or 4 councillors every five years in the Scottish local council elections. The most recent elections were held in [[2022 Dundee City Council election|2022]].
