Votes are being counted in two Scottish by-elections, with candidates vying for a Westminster and a Holyrood seat.
The by-election for the Commons seat of Livingston follows the death of former foreign secretary Robin Cook, who died while hillwalking in August.
The Glasgow Cathcart seat at Holyrood Scottish Parliament became vacant when MSP Mike Watson resigned following a conviction for wilful fire-raising.
Turnout in Livingston is 38.6% and 31.97% in Cathcart, a Scottish low.
The Cathcart figure is the smallest ever at a by-election in Scotland, according to political analyst John Curtice.
The Livingston figure has dropped from 58.1% at the general election in May.
