Bathgate is a new constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) which will elect one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. It will also form one of the nine constituencies in the Central Scotland and Lothians West electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole. [2]
The Bathgate constituency was created by the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries, and will first be contested at the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. It is based on the town of Bathgate, which was formerly in the constituency of Linlithgow; other settlements within the seat include Armadale, Broxburn and Whitburn. It lies entirely within the West Lothian council area, and covers the entirety of the West Lothian Council wards of Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh, Whitburn and Blackburn, Bathgate, and Armadale and Blackridge, and part of the Linlithgow ward.
