What is the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood)?
The Scottish Parliament, also known as Holyrood, is the devolved legislature of Scotland. It has 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) elected using the Additional Member System (AMS), with 73 constituency MSPs and 56 regional list MSPs.
How does Holyrood polling differ from Westminster polling?
Holyrood polling measures voting intentions for Scottish Parliament elections, which can differ significantly from Westminster voting intentions. Scottish voters may vote differently in devolved elections, and the AMS electoral system means seat projections work differently than Westminster's first-past-the-post system.
What is the Additional Member System (AMS)?
AMS is a mixed electoral system used for Holyrood. Voters cast two votes: one for a constituency MSP (first-past-the-post) and one for a party on a regional list. 73 seats are constituency seats, and 56 seats are allocated from regional lists to ensure proportional representation.
How often are Holyrood polls released?
Holyrood polls are released less frequently than Westminster polls, typically monthly or quarterly unless an election is approaching. PollCheck updates Holyrood polling data as new polls are published by major pollsters like YouGov, Survation, and Panelbase.
Which parties compete in Holyrood elections?
Major parties include the Scottish National Party (SNP), Scottish Labour, Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Liberal Democrats, Scottish Greens, and Alba Party. Reform UK also competes in Holyrood elections. Polling shows support levels for each party in Scottish Parliament elections.
