On Thursday 7 May, voters in Wales and Scotland will elect representatives to their respective devolved administrations.
With significant shifts in political momentum following the 2024 general election, these elections are expected to result in major electoral changes across both Wales and Scotland.
To keep track of the key political and policy debates set to define these elections, the Dods Political Intelligence team have produced this briefing on the 2026 Senedd and Scottish Parliament elections.
The report outlines changes to the voting systems and constituency boundaries in both nations, and provides an overview of current polling, alongside Dods’ own forecast of the election results.
This report also includes a sector-by-sector breakdown of the key policy debates taking place in Wales and Scotland, and how different parties are approaching these issues in the build up to election day.
