Young people in Scotland between 14 and 25 have two weeks to sign up as prospective candidates for the 2023 SYP elections, with the organisation urging professionals to encourage young people to stand.
SYP is democratically elected every two years, with two members (MSYPs) elected per Scottish constituency and a variety of voluntary organisations, and is tasked with representing young people across Scotland.
The organisation has published a range of resources for educators and youth workers, to encourage young people to stand as candidates, including social media materials, posters and workshop materials.
Prospective candidates have until midnight on Friday 1 September to register their interest in standing, and can do so on SYP’s election website.
