Scots are being urged to sign up to vote ahead of a planned referendum on independence
SNP president Michael Russell said the referendum would give Scots a vital chance to have their voices heard.
The Referendum Bill published last week states that the franchise will include qualifying foreign nationals and sets the referendum date for October 19 next year.referendum cannot be overstated – this is the opportunity for Scots to have their voices heard and decide their constitutional future,” said Russell.
“And with the starting gun fired on the independence campaign, now is the time to prepare – and that starts with registering to vote in this historic democratic event.” However, she added that those who said a consultative referendum would not have the same status as the vote in 2014 were “simply wrong, factually and legally”.
