The election used the 22 wards created by the Fifth Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements, with 75 councillors being elected. Each ward elected either 3 or 4 members, using the single transferable vote (STV) electoral system – a form of proportional representation – where candidates are ranked in order of preference.{{cite web |title=Notice of Election |url=https://www.fife.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/344024/Notice-of-Election-2022.pdf |publisher=Fife Council |date=14 March 2022 |access-date=9 January 2024}}

The total number of candidates fell from 185 in 2017 to 179. As was the case five years previous, the SNP fielded the highest number of candidates at 39 (six less than in 2017) across the 22 wards. Both Labour and the Conservatives also fielded at least one candidate in every ward, but the 32 candidates fielded by Labour was four less than in 2017, whereas the Conservatives increased their total number of candidates from 22 to 23. The Liberal Democrats contested all but one ward, fielding a total of 26 candidates (up two from 2017). The Greens also contested all but one ward however, the 21 candidates fielded by the party were three less than the previous election. The number of independent candidates contesting the election fell from 29 in 2017 to just eight. As with the previous election, both the Libertarians and the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) fielded a single candidate. For the first time, the Scottish Family Party (14), the Alba Party (11), the Independence for Scotland Party (ISP) (one), the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) (one) and Sovereignty (one) fielded candidates in a Fife election. Neither Solidarity nor the British Unionist Party (BUP), who had contested the 2017 election, fielded any candidates.

Note: Votes are the sum of first preference votes across all council wards. The net gain/loss and percentage changes relate to the result of the previous Scottish local elections on 4 May 2017. This is because STV has an element of proportionality which is not present unless multiple seats are being elected. This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at the dissolution of Scotland's councils.{{Cite web |url=https://ballotbox.scot/councils/stv-explained |title=The Local STV Voting System Explained |first=Allan |last=Faulds |publisher=Ballot Box Scotland |access-date=24 October 2022}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/voting-systems/types-of-voting-system/single-transferable-vote/ |title=Single Transferable Vote |publisher=Electoral Reform Society |access-date=24 October 2022}}

On 19 May 2022, a Labour-minority council was backed by 41 votes to 34, with Liberal Democrat and Conservative councillors voting for it. Labour denied forming a coalition with either the Lib Dems or the Conservatives but said they would need the support of others in the council to provide an effective administration. A social media post put out by the local authority explaining how the three Unionist parties had voted together was later edited to remove any reference to different parties.{{cite news|url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/20161459.kathleen-leslie-tory-called-nicola-sturgeon-hag-hands-labour-fife-council/|title=Kathleen Leslie: Tory who called Nicola Sturgeon 'hag' hands Labour Fife Council|last=Richards|first=Xander|date=24 May 2022|work=The National|archive-date=24 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220524125110/https://www.thenational.scot/news/20161459.kathleen-leslie-tory-called-nicola-sturgeon-hag-hands-labour-fife-council/}} SNP group leader, Councillor David Alexander, said that this outcome was "trampling on democracy" and said there was "no coherent defence for this gerrymandered motion" given that the SNP had won the most seats.{{cite news|url=https://www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/20151211.fife-council-run-minority-labour-administration-snp-accuse-party-trampling-democracy/|title=Fife Council to be run by minority Labour administration as SNP accuse party of "trampling on democracy|date=19 May 2022|last=Buchanan|first=Clare|work=Dunfermline Press|accessdate=20 May 2022}} Labour group leader Cllr David Ross was elected as council leader having previously been co-leader with Cllr Alexander prior to the election and Cllr Jim Leishman was re-elected as Provost.{{cite news|url=https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/politics/council/jim-leishman-re-appointed-provost-of-fife-after-snp-challenge-3700351 |title=Jim Leishman re-appointed Provost of Fife after SNP challenge |date=19 May 2022 |last=Crow |first=Allan |work=Fife Today |accessdate=22 March 2024}}
