Layout of the count area
The Highland Hall contains six distinct counting areas, one for each of the Edinburgh constituencies:
- Edinburgh Central
- Edinburgh North Eastern and Leith
- Edinburgh North Western
- Edinburgh Northern
- Edinburgh South Western
- Edinburgh Southern
Within each of these areas there are 36 tables, laid out in two blocks of 18:
- one block is for counting the ballot papers for the constituency contest and the election of the constituency MSP
- the second block is for counting the ballot papers for the regional contest from that constituency and the election of the seven regional MSPs
Four count assistants sit at each table and a supervisor is responsible for groups of three or four tables, overseeing the count assistants who count the papers.
There will also be areas for
- storage of boxes
- a stage for announcements
- an area for the media cameras.
