1995 Scottish local government election From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elections to the Moray Council were held on 6 April 1995, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. This was the first election to the new unitary Moray Council, and saw the SNP winning control of the council for the first time, taking control from the previous Independent administration. This election was the last to have 18 single member wards, which elected members using the first-past-the-post voting system.

The 1992 election was the last to send members to the Moray District Council. At that election the Independent group retained their 9 seats, and the Conservatives regained representation on the council since losing any representation in 1988.
