Question text In the election on May 6th, people used a new way of voting to elect the Scottish Parliament. There were two ballot papers. The first (purple), was for an individual Member of the Scottish Parliament (or MSP) for your constituency. The second (peach) was for a party list for your region. How clearly did you think the leaflet that was sent out by the government explained this new way of voting?
