It's Election Day. We offer our prayers for all the candidates, officials and voters who are participating in this significant event in the life of this nation. May the Spirit of God's Wisdom guide them today and always.
Scotland goes to the polls today in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.
The Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, The Most Rev Mark Strange, reminds people to exercise their democratic right by using their vote to help shape the country’s future.
“Across Scotland today, people are making their way to polling stations as we prepare to choose a new group of MSPs who will serve our communities and carry significant responsibilities on our behalf,” said the Primus.
“Mindful of this moment, and remembering with gratitude those who struggled so that we might share in the right to vote, we are called to treat this responsibility with reverence and care.
“Today we hold in our prayers all who are offering themselves for election, and all who are giving their time and skill to ensure the election is conducted well. We are thankful that we live in a country where every person has a voice in shaping our common life. Election day is a gift, and one to be used wisely.”
Polling stations are open until 10pm.
