Elections to East Kilbride District Council were held on 3 May 1984, on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. This was the fourth election to the district council following the local government reforms in the 1970s.
The election was the first to use the 16 wards created by the Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in 1980 – an increase of one from the previous arrangements. Each ward elected one councillor using first-past-the-post voting.[1]
Labour maintained control of the district council after winning 14 of the 16 seats – an increase of two – and taking more than half of the popular vote. The remaining two seats were won by the Conservatives. Despite taking a fifth of the vote and coming second in the popular vote, the Scottish National Party (SNP) lost their representation on the district council just seven years after winning control of the council.
