Under this system, voters are given two votes: one for their constituency, which elects a single MSP by first-past-the-post; and one for their region, which elects seven MSPs by closed list. Five Scottish Parliamentary elections have been held since the reconvention of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. Elections are held every five years, on the first Thursday in May. {{col-start}}{{col-3}}2016{{main|Scottish Parliament election, 2016}}

{{col-end}}Local councilsSince 1995, local elections in Scotland have been generally held every four years for all the 32 unitary authorities created under the Local 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 the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. As one consequence of the Gould Report,[6] which was a response to the fiasco of the 2007 elections, the next council elections were scheduled for 2012 (one year after the Parliamentary elections in 2011) 2017The elections were held again using the STV system of proportional representation, and as with the 2012 Scottish local elections, they were delayed for one year to ensure they were not held on the same day as the 2016 Scottish Parliament elections (which was delayed for a year, owing to the 2015 general election). For full analysis see Scottish local elections, 2017. 2012The election was contested for the second time under the STV 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 ParliamentIn 1999, a Scotland-wide constituency replaced eight first-past-the-post constituencies used in the elections between 1979 and 1994. This returned eight MEPs under the d'Hondt method of party-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. Elected candidates are shown in bold. Brackets indicate the number of votes per seat won. 2009{{Election box begin for list| title=European Election 2009: Scotland[7][8]}}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Scottish National Party |candidate = Ian Hudghton, Alyn Smith Aileen McLeod, Drew Hendry, Duncan Ross, Gordon Archer |votes = 321,007 (160,503.5) |percentage = 29.1 |change = +9.4 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Labour Party (UK) |candidate = David Martin, Catherine Stihler Mary Lockhart, Paul McAleavely, Kirsty Connell, Nasim Khan[9] |votes = 229,853 (114,926.5) |percentage = 20.8 |change = -5.6 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Conservative Party (UK) |candidate = Struan Stevenson Belinda Don, Helen Gardiner, Donald G.
