Voting is about to close in a Scottish byelection triggered after the incumbent MP was found to have broken Covid rules.
Former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was ousted from the Rutherglen and West Hamilton seat in August.
Ms Ferrier, who was kicked out of her party, travelled between London and Glasgow after testing positive for the virus.
A total of 14 candidates are on the ballot for the hotly contested South Lanarkshire seat, with either Labour or the SNP expected to win.
The constituency was last contested at the 2019 election, when five candidates vowed to win a seat in the House of Commons.
Ms Ferrier won the seat with a majority of 5,230, picking up 23,775 (44.2 per cent) of the votes on a turnout of 66.5 per cent.
Labour’s Gerard Killen came second with 18,545 votes (34.5 per cent) the Conservatives’ Lynne Nailon third on 8,054 (15 per ceny) and the Lib Dems Mark McGeever on 2,791 (5.2 per cent).
Janice Mackay, the now defunct UKIP’s candidate, came last with 629 votes (1.2 per cent)
