The voting system used to elect constituency MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) in Scotland is called a First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) system. This means that the candidate who receives the most votes in a particular constituency is elected as the MSP for that constituency.
On the other hand, the voting system used to elect regional MSPs in Scotland is called the Additional Member System (AMS), also known as the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system. Under this system, voters cast their vote for a political party, and the number of regional MSPs a party receives is determined by the proportion of votes it receives across all the regions. The remaining seats are then allocated to ensure a more proportional representation of parties in the Parliament.
