Members of the Scottish parliament are elected using the additional member system. People cast two votes: one for a local MSP chosen by first past the post; and another for a party list in their region.
Extra MSPs are then added from these lists to bring the total number of seats won by each party closer to its vote share across Scotland’s eight parliamentary regions.

Members of the Senedd are elected under a new system this year using a closed proportional list in 16 six-seat constituencies. Voters have one vote to back either a party or an independent.
Parties win seats in the Senedd based on how many votes they receive, so their share of seats closely matches their share of the vote. Before the election, each party makes a ranked list of candidates for every constituency; any seats won go to those at the top of the list.

These results are provided by the Press Association (PA). Numbers for change in seats are calculated against the state of the council or parliament just before this election. Other organisations calculate using the previous election, and this can lead to discrepancies. In Wales, the electoral system is sufficently different to previous elections that comparison is not given.
Other outlets may also announce individual ward councillor results as they become known, while PA release results for each council only when its full count is complete. PA collates results only for elections that were due in this electoral cycle, meaning there may be council byelection results in other parts of the country that are not included. There are frequent changes in ward boundaries, sometimes accompanied by changes in the number of councillors overall. "Shadow elections" were also held for two new unitary authorities due to be created in Surrey in 2027.
