A suspicious ballot paper was seized after a would-be voter in the Edinburgh Northern and Leith constituency tried to vote, only to be stopped because someone had already cast a ballot in their name.
Candidates and polling agents were summoned on Saturday morning as counting got under way in Edinburgh to witness count staff and police attempt to track down the vote in question.
Depute returning officer Chris Highcock confirmed that the vote allegedly cast in someone else's name - a crime known as personation - had been located and was being investigated by police.
