Scots go to the polls in May to elect the next Scottish Parliament.
The SNP are demanding a second referendum on Scotland leaving the UK, after losing the first vote in 2014.
Ms Sturgeon said: “This is about democracy and the ability of the people of Scotland to decide their future.”
Ian Blackford, the SNP’s Westminster leader, has suggested there could be another public vote “as early as late 2021”.
