I voted at 2pm after the rain. Voting did seem really brisk.
I'm in Glasgow Cathcart so it was a simple SNP/Green.
Pretty much everyone I know in my area has seen or met Nicola today (her seat starts across the road)
I wonder what turnout will be like.
The previous record was 58.4% in 1999 and second 55.8% last time in 2016.
I've seen lots of reports of brisk voting at the polls despite the bad weather. This is with a quarter of the electorate voting by post up from the high teens back in 2016.
Could we see record turnout?
That seems to be the case, but I'm hearing ground reports that the increase is skewed towards areas less favourable to the SNP.
Are you talking about that Lib Dem in Edinburgh Western? I have seen the complete opposite online too with SNP people saying they are really happy.
Really, nobody has any idea until the ballots are counted who has voted and who they have voted for.
Nope I had heard that more generally including in Rutherglen and elsewhere in Edinburgh but as you say who knows. ACH isn't a trustworthy source, I'm aware.
Turnout rumours are basically never trustworthy.
