Community Council Elections

Community Councils are established by the Local Authority as set out in the Scheme for Establishment of Community Councils.

Community Councillors are volunteers who have an interest in their local area and who have been elected by their local communities.

Becoming a Community Councillor in Aberdeen gives you an opportunity to play a vital role in decision making.
