In 2004, the local counting areas for the European Election were the former Westminster Constituencies, so West Dunbartonshire dealt with 2 constituencies – Dumbarton and Clydebank and Milngavie respectively. This year, the election will be fought on local government areas, so the administrative unit is the West Dunbartonshire Council area which corresponds exactly to the West Dunbartonshire County Constituency in the UK Parliament.
