How big must the imprint be?

For printed material at Scottish Parliamentary elections, there is a minimum size for imprints. For printed material of size A4 or larger:

  • the type must be at least as big as size 11 Times New Roman without being narrowed
  • there must be a space between text lines of at least 3mm

For printed material smaller than A4:

  • the type must be at least as big as size 9 Times New Roman without being narrowed
  • there must be a space between text lines of at least 2mm

We recommend that your imprints are also this size on printed material relating to council elections in Scotland.
