Who are the candidates in my constituency for the General Election 2024?

As the 2024 General Election draws nearer, it is crucial that you know who is standing in your constituency and you have the full details before you mark the 'X' in your ballot paper.

Scotland is divided into 57 constituencies, each represented by one MP. The political landscape in Scotland has been distinctive recently due to the strong presence of the Scottish National Party (SNP), alongside the traditional UK-wide parties such as the Labour Party, Conservative Party, and Liberal Democrats.

On election day, polling stations across Scotland open from 7am to 10pm. Voters cast their ballots in person, by post, or by proxy if they are unable to attend in person. Each voter receives a ballot paper listing the candidates standing in their constituency, and they mark their choice with an 'X'. The process is designed to be straightforward to ensure maximum participation.

Scottish voters' participation in general elections is crucial for shaping the UK government. The unique political climate in Scotland, particularly regarding issues like independence and devolution, means that the results from Scottish constituencies are closely watched and can have significant implications for the overall political landscape of the United Kingdom.
