The SYP Elections info sessions are hourly sessions held between May and July 2023 for young people aged 14 - 25 who are interested in standing in the Scottish Youth Parliament elections to become a Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYP), youth workers, and anyone else supporting a young person to take part in the SYP elections.
The session will cover what the Scottish Youth Parliament is, what we do, why we do it, and how we achieve our mission. It will give you the fundamental background information you need to know about SYP before standing for election. It will also give you an overview of the election process, what you can expect, and what your future participation in SYP could look like - whether you're elected as an MSYP or not.
