The booths have been closed since yesterday at 10pm, but it’s still not known what the outcome of the 2026 Scottish Parliament election will be.

That's because this year’s count is happening during the daytime.

The process at Alloa Town Hall is taking place now, and it’s expected that the result for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane will be announced at around 4pm, which is around the same time as neighbouring seats Dunfermline and Stirling.

Of course that is just an estimate. It could be earlier or later based on how the day unfolds.

In the running to represent the constituency as its MSP are:

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

Seven members for the Mid Scotland and Fife region, which spans all the way from the East of Fife up to Perth and Kinross, will also be selected. They should be confirmed at roughly 5.30pm.

All the parties fielding a constituency candidate were 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.
