The top issues mentioned in #ScottishElection2026 leaflets are health and the economy, followed closely by education.

Top issues in #Senedd2026 leaflets are health, the economy, social welfare a distant third.

[Open Elections UK @OpenElectionsUK]

How much did parties talking about their opponents in #Scotland and #Wales? 2 out of 3 #Senedd2026 leaflets included a message about an opponent, with @Plaid_Cymru and @WelshLabour being the most likely to have leaflets that focused on their own content.

Referencing the tactical situation continues to be a common feature in British elections. Nearly 60% of #Senedd2026 leaflets included a tactical message.

The road sign leaflets from @Plaid_Cymru for #Senedd2026 were my favourite design this time around!

The leaflet campaign in Scotland more closely resembles current predictions, with @theSNP leading. @ScottishLabour is going to need get out there a bit more to keep up!

The latest polls from @YouGov and @Survation show a clear lead for @Plaid_Cymru and @reformparty_uk in Wales - but what does the leafleting campaign look like?

[Caitlin Milazzo @CaitlinMilazzo]

Maps in leaflets are one of my favourite leaflet designs. Here is a great example of one seat, two parties, two maps from the #Senedd2026 campaign!
