North Lanarkshire SYP Elections
January 15 - January 26
Every two years, you have the chance to vote on who will represent young people from your local area as a member of the SYP. These members are responsible for listening to your thoughts and opinions on the issues that matter to you, and sharing them with decision-makers.
Young people aged 14-25 can apply to be a candidate for this election, which means they would like to be considered in this vote. You can find out more about the candidates on the SYP website.
Who Can Vote?
All young people aged 11 – 25 can vote in this election.
What Are Constituencies?
Local areas are divided into constituencies for voting, to make sure each area has roughly the same amount of voters to make it fair. This is not the same as a local authority which means you might need to check which constituency you are in. You can do this by entering your postcode on this Scottish Government Website.
Who Are The Candidates For My Constituency?
You can find out which young people in your area are running as candidates for this vote by entering your postcode on the SYP website. You will also find a little bit of information about them to help you make your decision.
The live constituencies in this area are:
- Airdrie and Shotts
- Coatbridge and Chryston
- Cumbernauld and Kilsyth
- Motherwell and Wishaw
(no election is needed in Uddingston and Bellshill at this stage)
How to Vote?
The vote will be open from 15th – 26th January
