Published by Constituency Returning Officer Paul Manning, the notice confirms that the poll for the Scottish Parliament constituency will be held on Thursday 5 June 2025. It follows the death of Christina McKelvie MSP.

The notice advises potential candidates how to submit their nomination papers, and by when. It also advises eligible electors that if they need to apply to register to vote they must do so by midnight on Monday 19 May.

Applications to register to vote should be made to the Electoral Registration Officer at Lanarkshire Valuation Joint Board, David Dale House, 45 John Street, Blantyre, Glasgow G72 0AA. Applications can be made online.

Applications for a new postal vote or to amend existing postal or proxy votes must be received by the Electoral Registration Officer by 5pm on Tuesday 20 May. Applications for new proxy votes must be received by 5pm on Wednesday 28 May.

Because this is a Scottish Parliament by-election, anyone aged 16 or older who is eligible and registered in the constituency can vote, and voter ID is not required.
