North Tayside was a constituency of the Scottish Parliament. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, it elected one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election. It was also one of nine constituencies in the Mid Scotland and Fife electoral region, which elected seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
