The full list of candidates seeking election to the Scottish Parliament as constituency MSP for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane has been finalised.

Voters will take to the polls between 7am and 10pm on Thursday, May 7, with seven Holyrood hopefuls looking to take the seat from incumbent Keith Brown of the SNP.

Within the area’s boundary is all of the Wee County. It also covers Bridge of Allan and up to Dunblane, with the cut-off just west of Kinbuck and Ashfield.

Here is the rundown of those who will be on the ballot:

Scottish National Party – Keith James Brown

Reform UK – Mike Collier

Alliance to Liberate Scotland – Eva Margaret Comrie

Scottish Labour Party – Suzanne Grahame

Scottish Liberal Democrats – Sally Pattle

Independent – Luca Scacchi

Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party – Alexander Stewart

A peach-coloured ballot will also be provided on the day, which voters can use to select their favoured party or individual to represent the Mid Scotland and Fife Region.

The large area spans all the way from the East of Fife up to Perth and Kinross, and seven members will be elected for it overall.

All the parties fielding a constituency candidate will be presented as options, with the addition of the Scottish Family Party, Scottish Socialist Party, Scottish Libertarian Party, Independent Green Voice, Independence for Scotland Party, Scottish Greens, and Advance UK.

You can register to vote up until 11:59pm on Monday, April 20, through the Gov.uk website.

Polling stations in Clackmannanshire can be found on the council’s website.
