Elections to East Kilbride District Council were held on 7 May 1992, on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. This was the final election to the district council which was abolished in 1995 along with Hamilton District Council and Clydesdale District Council and, combined with part of the abolished City of Glasgow District Council, was replaced by South Lanarkshire Council following the implementation of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994. The regional council, Strathclyde, was also abolished and the new unitary authority took on its responsibilities.
The election was also the last to use the 16 wards created by the Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in 1980 without alterations. Each ward elected one councillor using first-past-the-post voting.[1]
Labour maintained control of the district council despite a reduction in their vote share after winning 12 of the 16 seats – a decrease of two from the previous election. The Scottish National Party (SNP) regained a presence on the council as they gained two seats from Labour and came second in the popular vote. The remaining seats were won by the Conservatives who held both their seats.
