Tactical Advice Explainer

(Buckhaven, Methil and Wemyss Villages ward)

You can vote for 1 candidate here

Please note the SNPs are committed to getting rid of the unfair First Part the Post voting system (which would end the need for tactical voting) in Council, Mayoral and Westminster elections. Labour are not.

We've manually set advice for this ward. Having considered the candidates who are standing this time, this advice is based on the result of the 2022 Council Elections, when the SNP were well ahead of Labour on first preferences (with the Tories and the rest far behind). However, Reform are a factor in these sort of seats and we urge progressive voters to complete their lower preferences for SNP or Labour.

Vote counts missing for Scottish elections

Sorry, we aren't yet able to show vote counts for Scottish elections because they are STV (Single Transferable Vote) and so work differently to the First Past the Post system used elsewhere in the UK. However please rest assured it's on our list to fix this!

In the mean time, you can find the relevant information in the explainer text next to this section.
