Voters in Scotland elect an MSP in 73 constituencies, plus top-up MSPs in eight regions, to a total of 129. The regional seats are awarded taking into account the constituency results in a way which compensates parties with a strong regional vote who did not get many constituency seats. In the outgoing parliament, Nicola Sturgeon's SNP had a five-seat majority.

Voters in Northern Ireland choose representatives at the Stormont Assembly for the same 18 constituencies which return Westminster MPs, but with a different voting system. Six members are returned by each constituency by single transferable vote, a form of proportional representation. Uniquely in the UK, ministries are reserved for any large party, meaning power-sharing is usually guaranteed.
