(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under section 12(6) of the Scotland Act 1998. It designates persons to be the regional returning officers for each region of the Scottish Parliament. The regional returning officer for each region will perform functions, conferred by or under the 1998 Act, in relation to the election and return of regional members of the Scottish Parliament. The Order revokes a previous Order made under section 12(6) of the 1998 Act which owing to a clerical mistake omitted a designation for the region of the Lothians.
