IF a council election flyer comes through your letterbox, The National wants to see it.
We are encouraging all our readers to send in pictures of their local candidates' flyers to keep everyone up to date with who is standing in 2022.
There are hundreds of candidates standing across Scotland, and we've already brought you exclusive stories ahead of the Scottish council elections such as the Tory candidate who subscribes to videos of the former grand wizard of the KKK.
And just this week we revealed that Douglas Ross was seen posing with a Fife Council candidate who branded Nicola Sturgeon a "drooling hag".
We're sure there are plenty more stories to come from the Scottish council elections, and we're keen to keep our eye on all the candidates in the running.
So, if a candidate is running in your area and you think we should know about them, please email localelection2022@thenational.scot
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
