The SNP has worked with UK spy bosses to keep its online leadership ballot secure
The party said it enlisted the help of the National Cyber Security Centre to ensure the vote was safe from hackers.
The ballot to take over from Sturgeon as SNP leader will run from March 13 to midday on March 27. The vast majority of party members will cast their vote online, though paper ballots are to be available if this option is not. SNP MP Angus MacNeil said he had written to Peter Murrell, the party’s chief executive, about the issue of vote security.
An SNP spokesperson said the party had “taken the appropriate advice and the necessary cyber safeguards are all in place”.
