What happened in the 2026 Scottish elections and what does it mean for Scotland?: Evidence from the Scottish Election Study

Join members from the Scottish Election Study team as they discuss the findings of their pre- and post-election surveys. The event will provide a series of presentations, covering predictors of vote choice, attitudes to an independence referendum, the impact of Reform on the wider political system, attitudes to compromise and tolerance, wider political engagement, explanations of vote switching, tactical voting and split-ticket voting, as well as a dedicated focus on young people and how they felt about the election.

The event will provide ample opportunity for Q&A.
