Voters in Wales are electing representatives to the Welsh parliament (commonly referred to as the Senedd) in the May elections taking place around the UK. For the first time ever, 16 and 17-year-olds will get the vote too, although the significance of this extension to democratic franchise has been largely overlooked in the context of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Like the other elections taking place on May 6, COVID-19 has made the Welsh parliament vote an unusual event. Campaigning has been very low-key and curtailed by the public health measures in place. Much of the debate has also inevitably focused on the Welsh government’s record in responding to the pandemic. And there are fears that the pandemic will mean that the number of people choosing to vote could fall to an all-time low for Welsh elections.
