The Scottish Parliament election on 7 May is a huge opportunity. We can elect more Scottish Green MSPs than ever before, to stand against the rise of the far-right and fight for people and planet.
Green Candidates for Edinburgh & Lothians East
Lorna Slater, Kate Nevens and Q Manivannan are our top three candidates to be MSPs in Edinburgh and Lothians East region. Make your regional list vote Green to make sure we get at least three Green MSPs in Edinburgh and Lothians East.
If you live in EDINBURGH CENTRAL make BOTH VOTES GREEN! We’re campaigning for Lorna to be our first ever constituency MSP in Edinburgh – and we’re currently predicted to win the seat!
Our other candidates are: Kayleigh Kinross-O’Neill, Chas Booth, Adam Al-Khateb, Jo Phillips, Mridul Wadhwa, Dan Heap, Astri Kvassnes, Alex Staniforth and Mariusz Cebulski.
Join our growing campaign
Be part of our campaign to gain a record number of Green MSPs in the Scottish Parliament election on 7 May 2026.
What’s the plan?
We’d like everyone who supports our Green policies to get involved in our campaign – you don’t have to be a member of the Scottish Greens to take part.
We are running our biggest-ever door-knocking operation to talk to as many voters as possible face-to-face.
We can always use more volunteers for this and other campaign activities. Use the form below to let us know how you can help.
Keep an eye out for upcoming events (on this page and in our calendar) and contact the local team in your area to keep in the loop.
Register to vote
There’s no time like the present! Get on the electoral register to make sure that you can vote in the Scottish Parliament elections.

You just need to register to vote. You can register to vote from the age of 14, although you don’t get to vote until you are 16.
