@ShredderLivesOn this will be my first Scottish Parliament vote (and only my second vote this century - I've been away).
I have no idea what to expect when I go to the polling station - what does the ballot look like? Is it essentially two identical lists?

@AbramKedge So for the Scottish Parliament, you get two ballot papers. One is the constituency ballot. Which is where you put an X next to your preferred candidate. The other is the Regional List. Where you put an X for the political party that you want to represent you. That's usually a longer list of options, as it has fringe parties who won't contest the constituency vote. This is an example of what the ballot paper looks like. Constituency is pink. Regional List is yellow.
