Six Scottish parliamentary elections have now been held since the creation of the Scottish Parliament in 1999.
In the past two elections, the SNP has fallen just short of the 65 seats needed for a majority – after winning 69 in the 2011 election.
Prior to this, a coalition between Labour and the Liberal Democrats made up the government.
The system for Scottish elections is the Additional Member System (AMS), where voters are given two votes. The first vote is for constituency – where single MSPs are elected by first-past-the post. The second is for region seats, where seven MSPs are elected by closed list.

News by Jamie Seidel 10th May 2021 4:47 AM | Updated: 6:41 AM Britain s biggest naval task force since the Falklands War is headed our way. And its centrepiece, the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, is sailing into uncertain waters. Gunboat diplomacy has dominated news feeds in recent months. Regular US deployments of its nuclear-powered behemoths - including a rare double act - to the South China Sea has focussed attention on the region s troubles. Then, in April, the PLAN Liaoning deployed for the first time as the hub of a powerful Chinese carrier battle group circling Taiwan. A few days later, Beijing s first home-built aircraft carrier, Shandong, held combat exercises in the South China Sea.
