New Bill to manage Senedd election during COVID pandemic introduced

An emergency bill to ensure the next Senedd election can happen safely, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, has been introduced before the Senedd by the Welsh Government.  The Welsh Elections (Coronavirus) Bill introduces a range of measures to make it easier for those affected by the pandemic to vote. While it is the policy of the Welsh Government to hold the election on 6 May 2021 as intended, if the public heath situation allows, it also makes it possible to delay polling day if it is not safe to hold the election at that time.  Read the announcement in full on Gov.Wales.  Watch that space!!
