European Parliament Elections
Polling for the European Election was on Thursday 4th June and the count took place on Sunday 7th June 2009.
The result for both Clackmannanshire and Scotland area has been announced.
Results of the past elections (including statistical information of votes cast in the Ochil Constituency and Scotland) are available from the Election Results area of this site.
For the purpose of the European Parliament Elections, Scotland is considered to be one large region. For administrative purposes locally, the poll is managed on a constituency basis before the preferences expressed by voters are amalgamated with those for the rest of Scotland.
This voting system means that a total of six individuals, reduced from seven from the previous European election, are elected at the one time to serve the whole of Scotland rather than individual constituencies.
European elections occur in June every 5 years. The next poll will take place on Thursday 4th June 2009. The most recent election was held on Thursday 10th June 2004 and at that election, the number of MEPs elected across Scotland reduced from eight to seven.
