Scottish voters will be electing 129 Members of Scottish Parliament in under two years.
The 2024 General Election is officially over and Labour have triumphed in the polls - and achieved a remarkable victory in Scotland.
The SNP suffered a huge defeat as the results trickled in overnight. The magnitude of defeat became apparent on the election results map as voters flipped seats red across Scotland. Time will tell what Scotland's next election will bring for the country. The next Scottish election is expected in less than two years.
When is the next Scottish Parliament election? The Scottish Parliamentary elections take place every five years. As the last election was May 1, 2021, the next election is expected no later than Thursday May 7, 2026. The Scottish Elections Act 2020 set terms to five years. It decreed that the general election under Scottish Parliament is held on the first Thursday in May every five years. The act superseded the Scotland Act 1998 which set elections every four years.Top Trending Stories Today Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages.
