Scottish election 2021 candidates: list of parties and candidates standing in my area

Voters are set to cast their ballots in the sixth Scottish Parliament election this Thursday.

As election day draws nearer, candidates are out on doorsteps to persuade the people of Scotland to give them their vote, although they remain under strict Covid restrictions.

The SNP is currently on-course to win a fourth term in office following the 6 May vote, according to the latest polls, but whether it will gain enough seats for an overall majority or not is still to be seen.

In total, there are 73 constituency seats available under the “first-past-the-post” voting system, which is the same as is used during Westminster general elections.

And Scots are also given a second regional list vote to elect an “additional” member using the D’Hondt method. There are 56 list seats in Holyrood.

So, which candidates from the SNP, Scottish Tories, Scottish Labour, the Greens, Alba and Lib Dems are running in which constituency?

Here is the full list.
