Local councils

[edit]

Since 1995, local elections in Scotland have been generally held every four years for all the 32 unitary authorities created under theLocal Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994. Between 1975 and 1992, elections were held every two years for either district or regional council, which sat for four-year terms. Those arrangements were set up by theLocal Government (Scotland) Act 1973.

As one consequence of theGould Report,^[7] which was a response to the fiasco of the 2007 elections, the next council elections were scheduled for 2012 (one yearafter the Parliamentary elections in 2011).

2022

[edit]

Main article:2022 Scottish local elections

2017

[edit]

The elections were held again using theSTV system of proportional representation, and as with the2012 Scottish local elections, they were delayed for one year to ensure they were not held on the same day as the2016 Scottish Parliament elections (which was delayed for a year, owing to the2015 general election). For full analysis see2017 Scottish local elections.

2012

[edit]

Main article:2012 Scottish local elections

The election was contested for the second time under theSTV system of proportional representation. It was the first time in 13 years that the elections had not been held on the same day as the Scottish Parliament elections.

European Parliament

[edit]

In1999, a Scotland-wide constituency replaced eightfirst-past-the-post constituencies used in the elections between 1979 and 1994. This returned eight MEPs under thed'Hondt method ofparty-list proportional representation system. Since then the number of MEPs returned by Scotland has been reduced twice, to seven in 2004, and then to six in 2009.

Following the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union on 31 January 2020, Scotland no longer elects representatives to the European Parliament.

Elected candidates are shown inbold. Brackets indicate the number of votes per seat won.
