The next Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) elections will be in March 2017, and the call for candidates is now open.

SYP are encouraging young people aged 14-25 from all over Scotland to stand as a candidate to be an MSYP. Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs) do fantastic work to ensure that young people's voices are heard on the issues that affect them. Being an MSYP is also an amazing opportunity for young people's personal and professional development, and allows them to build and develop lots of transferable skills.

The submission of interest form will be open until 31 October 2016.
