He said:

The 2021 Scottish Parliamentary Election has felt very different from previous elections and it is down to the hard work of many Council staff, particularly the Election Team, that this election has run so smoothly in Edinburgh. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved, along with Police Scotland, the candidates and their agents, who have cooperated throughout the process.

It has been a huge undertaking this year as we've had to adapt, putting in extensive additional Covid-19 health and safety measures to help keep everyone involved safe.  I would also like to thank the public for turning out in record numbers to have their say, helping to ensure representative vote for the capital. 

This year more than 300 people worked at the election count at the Royal Highland Centre, while a further 900 worked during the day at the city's 140 polling places.
