Using the first past the post system, voters elect a constituency MSP. There are three constituencies for Aberdeen City: Aberdeen Donside, Aberdeen Central and Aberdeen South and North Kincardine.
Voters also elect seven regional MSPs using the additional member system of proportional representation. The system uses regional lists which include candidates selected by political parties and independent candidates. Aberdeen is in the North East Scotland region.
