We're producing our best election coverage yet.
We know how frustrating an election can be when you primarily see London-centric journalism in broadcast and social media.
As Scotland's only pro-independence daily paper, we're always going to give you the facts about what matters to people here. We don't want to conflate between reserved and devolved issues.
We're totally focused on bringing you the updates you need, but always from a Scottish perspective.
So, here's what you can expect from The National between now and July 4:
- Daily profiles of every single Scottish constituency, giving you the key facts on the area, who the contenders are and the local issues coming up on the doorsteps.
- Special features on the major target seats everyone's talking about, featuring interviews with candidates, vox pops from residents and fact-files on the history of the seat. (Like this one!)
- Special editions of the Holyrood Weekly podcast, like this one here. We'll be speaking with popular political figures who'll no longer be in Westminster after this summer, and then taking you inside the count on election night to give you unmissable insight into the atmosphere.
- Regular livestreams with our editor and political reporters who've been on the campaign trail, talking you through the big debates of the day. Watch on Facebook, Twitter/X or YouTube, and drop us a question!
- Economics-focused interviews with Professor Richard Murphy speaking to financial spokespeople for the main pro-independence parties. Find these here.
- Exclusive interviews between Lesley Riddoch and the main pro-independence parties, which you can watch in full here
- Live blogs covering all the updates on the biggest news days, including overnight on July 4 and well into July 5.
- Analysis of the major TV debates, like this from Mhairi Black, plus opportunities for our subscribers to have their say.
- Innovative features like interactive maps showcasing the candidates in your area, and digestible graph and data visualisation overnight into July 5.
- Twice-weekly FREE General Election newsletter, sent straight to your inbox and covering everything you need to know. Sign up here.
- Shareable clips from the campaign trail on Instagram, TikTok, Threads and more
- PLUS: All the excellent exclusive stories and commentary you'd expect from The National.
You can find all of our General Election coverage on the tab on our website, via our News section.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
