Elections to Hamilton District Council were held on 1 May 1980, on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. This was the third election to the district council following the local government reforms in the 1970s.
The election was the last to use the original 20 wards created by the Formation Electoral Arrangements in 1974. Each ward elected one councillor using first-past-the-post voting.[1] Following the Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in October 1981, several wards were changed or abolished.[2]
Labour regained overall control of the council after winning 17 seats – an increase of seven from the previous election – and taking more than half of the popular vote. The Liberals leapfrogged the Scottish National Party (SNP) into second as they maintained their total of two councillors and the Conservatives won the remaining seat to maintain their number on the council. The SNP lost all six of their seats as their vote share fell by 25 percentage points.
