Results for the election are coming in thick and fast - and polls have been placing the SNP within reach of winning a Holyrood majority.
As results come in, we're adding up the party totals and telling you exactly how far each party is from that crucial 65 - the amount needed to get a majority in parliament.
View the latest results in full with our election tracker, and keep up to date with our live blog for all the latest updates and commentary.
The below chart simply shows the total number of seats each party has obtained so far, with a line positioned at 65.
As the next few days progress, we should see these totals creeping closer to that line.
And this one is perhaps a bit more fun - or at least it will be when we have more results.
This moving graph shows how the votes have changed over time. We're updating this every minute the results are announced, to give us a clear view at the end of the next few days of how the results transpired.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
