Voters in Aberdeen South and Arbroath and Broughty Ferry are choosing new MPs in two by-elections on Scotland's east coast. The contests were triggered because the former SNP MPs, Stephen Flynn and Stephen Gethins, were elected to Holyrood last month and cannot hold both seats. Polls are open until 10pm, with results expected in the early hours of Friday.
