The BBC visited the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse constituency in Scotland to find out what
issues matter most to voters ahead of the 2026 Scottish Parliament elections. The main concerns
identified were the National Health Service, rising living costs, and immigration policy. With only six
weeks until the election, this will be a significantly different parliament as one-third of current
Members of the Scottish Parliament are not seeking re-election. The report aims to understand what
ordinary voters are thinking about as they prepare to cast their ballots.
