Governance
Kilmacolm is the name of a wider civil parish, including the village of Kilmacolm, Quarrier's Village and a large rural hinterland. Civil parishes have been largely superseded in local government by modern community council areas, with Kilmacolm, Quarrier's Village and the surrounding area falling within the Kilmacolm community council area.
At a higher level, Kilmacolm elects members to the local authority - Inverclyde Council - as well as to the Scottish Parliament, the Parliament of the United Kingdom and the European Parliament.
