On the front page of today's edition of the Evening Times we make an appeal direct to our readers to use their vote.
By using advanced printing technology to personalise the papers with more than 100 different first names we hope the message will be noticed.
Staying at home says nothing and lets down the generations of men and women who fought and campaigned over the years to establish and preserve your democratic rights.
In this special edition of the paper, the name on the front is the only difference between copies, with the rest of the content being the same.
Scottish Greens leader Patrick Harvie got his copy.
Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety arrived at Wallacewell Primary school in Robroyaton to cast his vote this morning and posed with his personalised edition.
Labour Lord Provost of Glasgow City Council, Councillor Sadie Docherty with her edition.
The names were compiled from a database of the most popular boys and girls’ names for children born in Scotland in 1950, 1975 and 2000.
One or two other names were added for fun. Sorry if your name was not included in our print run, but hopefully the message made you think.
