BELOW is a list of all the regional 'list' candidates for the Lothian region, listed by party.
The Lothian region, which includes the Midlothian North and Musselburgh constituency, will be represented by seven 'list' MSPs, in addition to each of the constituency MSPs elected.
These MSPs are elected through proportional representation.
Each party ranks its list MSPs in order from first to last - they appear in that same order here.
Voters get two votes in the election - one for their constituency candidate, and one to vote for a party on the regional list.
