Darvel’s vote
in context.
Election results are not published as a consistent Darvel-only series. These are the official constituency-ballot results for the Scottish Parliament constituency containing Darvel: Kilmarnock and Loudoun from 1999 to 2007, then Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley from 2011.
Holyrood voters cast a separate regional-list ballot. This page shows only the constituency ballot, so the Scottish Greens are marked “did not stand” where they had no constituency candidate. Significant independents and smaller-party candidates are combined as Other.
The constituency name and boundaries changed before the 2011 election and the boundaries were revised again for 2026, so changes over time are informative rather than perfectly like-for-like.
