Scotland office - our role
Our remit includes elections to the Scottish Parliament, UK Parliament and European Parliament. Responsibility for Scottish local government elections is devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
One of our key aims is to ensure that the views of Scottish stakeholders contribute to all aspects of our work. This ensures that distinctive Scottish procedures and practices are taken into account and reflected in Commission-wide activities.
We also act as a reference point for electors in Scotland. We are available to answer enquiries and requests for advice from the public and relevant organisations on electoral matters.
