Adobe StockVoters go to the polling stations on Thursday for the first Scottish Parliament election since 2021.
There are 73 constituency seats at Holyrood elected by the first-past-the-post method, and eight electoral regions, each of which sends an additional seven members to the Parliament based on a form of proportional voting.
Boundary changes introduced at this year’s election mean that while some seats are unchanged, others have disappeared, been renamed, changed shape or are brand new, although there will still be 129 seats at Holyrood.
Polling stations will be open between 7am and 10pm on Thursday but there will be no results overnight. The first are expected to be declared early on Friday afternoon.
Estimated declaration times have been compiled by the Press Association, but all are approximate and can be affected by issues such as delays in verifying and counting ballots, or by recounts, as well as turnout.
The list is organised alphabetically, and all timings relate to Friday, May 8.
