Can Refugees and Asylum Seekers vote in a Scottish Independence Referendum?

Refugees can now vote in Scotland if they have Leave to Remain and register to vote.

Asylum Seekers are not entitled to vote in Scottish Elections.

If you are a Refugee with Indefinite Leave to Remain and are resident in Scotland, you can run as an MSP.

Leave to remain means you have permission to stay in the UK for a specific period of time and your activities are limited to the restrictions of your visa. Indefinite leave to remain is where you have permanent lawful status in the UK as a settled person, and you are no longer subject to immigration control.
