On Thursday 6 May 2021 residents in Dundee will go to the polls to have their say on who represents them in the Scottish Parliament.
While the election is not until May, planning is already underway to help you stay safe while casting your vote.
There are a number of ways to have your say in the election in May - you can vote in a polling station, by post, or by appointing someone you trust to vote on your behalf, which is known as a proxy vote.
Andy O’Neill, Head of Electoral Commission, Scotland said: "The choice on how to vote at next May’s elections is yours – you can have your say in person, by post or by proxy."
"If you’re thinking about voting by post, you can apply now. This will make sure your application is processed early, and your postal vote can be sent to you more quickly."
"It’s easy to apply and you can find out how by visiting the Electoral Commission website."
"You need to be registered to vote in order to have a say at the election – the easiest way is online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. And remember, it doesn’t matter where you were born, if you are aged 16 and over and are resident in Scotland you are now eligible to register and vote in Scottish Parliament elections."
