Not from us. Instead, we have made PDF files of constituencies available to download so you can print it yourself. We have also made GIS data available to download so that, if you have access to GIS software, you can make your own maps of constituencies.

Do numbers of people matter when you’re recommending Scottish Parliament constituencies?
Yes. The law specifies that each constituency must have the same number of electors “as is practicable” while also taking account of the other rules for constituency design. Because of this, when we carry out a review, we look closely at the number of electors in each area.
Do numbers of people matter when you’re recommending wards?
Yes. The law specifies that each ward should have “as nearly as may be” the same number of electors per councillor as every other ward in a council area. We refer to this as electoral parity. As a result, when we carry out a review, we look closely at the number of electors in each area. We also We consider likely changes to electorate over the following 5 years when we conduct a review. To do this, we use information from the local authority on expected new-build and demolitions of dwellings over the period, together with population projections from the National Records of Scotland.
Can you tell me the current number of electors in a ward, council area, Scottish Parliament constituency or region?
We do not publish current electorate figures for wards. These can be obtained from the relevant page of the National Records of Scotland website: www.nrscotland.gov.uk.
What’s the difference between local government electorate and parliamentary electorate?
UK citizens of voting age who are resident in the UK are entitled to register to vote in all elections. EU citizens who are resident in the UK can register as local government electors. Commonwealth and Irish Republic citizens who are resident in the UK and UK citizens living abroad, can register as parliamentary electors. We use the local government electorate for all of our reviews.
Which people do you consider when you’re looking at numbers?
The law requires us to use the number of “local government electors”. In order to be a local government elector, you have to be over 16, and to be included on the Register of Electors for your area.
