Voting in the Scottish Youth Parliament Elections took place yesterday and today in the library’s ‘break out’ space; converted into a polling station for the occasion.

Two MSYPs are elected from every parliamentary constituency in Scotland, and from partnering national voluntary organisations.

Brechin High School’s candidate hopeful is S6 pupil, Craig Ewen. Craig has campaigned on a platform of giving young people a voice on issues such as #Brexit and #indyref2. The candidate for the Angus Voluntary Sector is current MSYP and ex-pupil, Ross Alexander, who is seeking re-election in order to continue with his work improving transport around Angus, building community capacity and enabling young people.
