Look back at manifesto launches
All the main parties have now published their manifestos which set out their priorities for the next parliament.
They cover a whole range of matters from the health service to education.
Here, is a re-cap of what the SNP, Scottish Labour, Scottish Tories and the Scottish Lib Dems have pledged.
Electors go to the polls on 5 May to choose their constituency and list MSPs for the next Scottish Parliament term.
Holyrood has 129 members, 73 constituency MSPs and a further 56 MSPs from eight additional member regions.
In addition to choosing who sits in the parliament, voters will also be given the chance to say "yes" or "no" in a referendum to the alternative vote for future Westminster elections.
SCOTTISH CONSERVATIVE PARTY (Launch, 4 April)
The Tory manifesto pledged to allow children to leave school at the age of 14 to learn a trade. The party's leader Annabel Goldie also backed a capped graduate fee and she promised to deliver "common sense" policies that faced up to the need to cut the spending deficit.
