Your constituency may have changed. A new set of constituency and regional boundaries will be used for the 2026 Scottish parliament elections. The boundaries have been reviewed by the independent organisation Boundaries Scotland, to take account of population changes since 2011. This means that your constituency or region may have changed since the last election. Learn more about the review.
