How are the four-year seats allocated?

The seats in the primary/nursery and secondary school election categories will be allocated as follows

• the reserved headteacher seats with a 4-year term will be filled by the headteacher candidate in the relevant category credited with the greatest number of votes in the election;
• the remaining seats with a 4-year term will be filled by the candidates credited with the highest number of votes or remaining headteacher candidates credited with the next highest number of votes in the relevant category in descending order in the election;

If there is no headteacher candidate to fill the reserved headteacher seat or if there are no headteacher or teacher candidates to fill any other vacant seat, the seat will be treated as an interim vacancy to be filled in accordance with the GTC Scotland Election scheme and Election policy.
