Glasgow Central is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament which will elect one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. It is also one of eight constituencies in the Glasgow electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to eight constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole. [2] The seat was created at the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries in 2025, and will be first contested at the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. It covers areas that were formerly within the constituencies of Glasgow Kelvin and Glasgow Shettleston, which were abolished as a result of this review, along with areas taken from Glasgow Southside, which was redrawn. [3]
The other seven constituencies of the Glasgow region are Glasgow Anniesland, Glasgow Baillieston and Shettleston, Glasgow Cathcart and Pollok, Glasgow Easterhouse and Springburn, Glasgow Kelvin and Maryhill, Glasgow Southside, and Rutherglen and Cambuslang. [2] The region covers most of the Glasgow City council area, and a north-western portion of the South Lanarkshire council area. [4]
Glasgow Cathcart and Pollok is one of the eight constituencies covering the Glasgow City council area: Glasgow Anniesland, Glasgow Baillieston and Shettleston, Glasgow Cathcart and Pollok, Glasgow Central, Glasgow Easterhouse and Springburn, Glasgow Kelvin and Maryhill, Glasgow Southside, and Renfrewshire North and Cardonald (the latter also covering part of the Renfrewshire council area).
