Elections for membership of the House of Commons, the European Parliament and the Scottish Parliament are reserved, including the subject-matter of:
so far as they apply, or may be applied, in respect of such membership.
The franchise at local government elections is also a reserved matter but other matters concerning local government elections are not caught by the reservation.  The Scottish Parliament is thus able to legislate on:
	the frequency of elections;
	the terms of office of councillors;
	the division of local government areas into electoral wards and the number of councillors elected for each ward;
	the procedures under which votes cast in such an election should count e.g. proportional representation or first past the post;
	the separate election of specific persons to specific council offices e.g. the direct election of convenors or leaders of local authorities;
	the qualifications and disqualifications for holding office as a member of such a council; and
	what should happen on any vacation of office of a member of a council.
