Electors in North Lanarkshire are reminded to use their vote in the Scottish Parliament Election on Thursday 7 May.
Information about where to vote has been issued to eligible voters. Polling takes place between 7.00am and 10.00pm.
Voters will receive two ballot papers – one for the local constituency and one for the wider Central Scotland and Lothians West region – and should mark an X on each ballot paper at the candidate or party they wish to represent their area.
“It is important that everyone who is eligible uses their vote in the Scottish Parliament election on 7 May,” said Returning Officer Des Murray.
“The Scottish Parliament has powers to make laws for Scotland in areas including health, education, housing, justice, and the environment. This election gives you the opportunity to have a say in who represents your community at the Scottish Parliament.”
Polling place staff will be able help voters with any questions about casting their vote. Photo id is NOT needed at this election.
To assist voters with a visual impairment, a large print sample ballot paper and tactile voting device will be available and mobile phones can be taken into the polling booth to use magnifier or text-to-speech apps, or the phone torch to improve lighting. Photos must not be taken inside the polling station.
If anyone has not received their polling letter, contact the council’s Election Office on 01698 302119.
