Devolved Elections is delighted to announce a partnership with @electheruk.bsky.social to project the number of female candidates for the upcoming Scottish and Welsh elections.
Currently, we expect Scotland to have a much more even gender split than Wales.

Our projection on the latest Find Out Now poll in the National.
A very string showing for Reform and the Greens at the expense of Labour and Conservatives.
But, this is a very different poll from most recent ones, so we'd recommend taking it with a pinch of salt and focusing on polling averages.

It tracks parties, individual seats and ideologies.
We'll update it regularly to show changes.

Following the announcement of 'Your Party' yesterday we've started adding them to our projection. It's not live yet but here are some early findings.
Using ratios from some hypotheticals polls - Your Party would enter the Senedd (8 seats) and Holyrood (2) next year.
We're concerned that the position of 16 year olds in NI Assembly elections in all this is unclear.
It's a big enough change that they should say it clearly, and a big enough omission to also say it clearly.
