The Senedd, Cardiff DUE to a local printing error, the Senedd North Wales Regional Ballot Papers for the constituencies in Gwynedd and Ynys Môn do not include the final listed candidate - Michelle Brown, Independent. Voters are being advised of this error as they attend their local polling stations, and are still being given the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice from the full list of nominated parties and candidates. A joint statement, by the Regional Returning Officer for North Wales (Colin Everett), Returning Officer for Gwynedd (Dilwyn Williams) and Returning Officer for Ynys Mon (Annwen Morgan), said: The correct ballot papers are being issued across the other parts of the North Wales region.
Ballot Box “Bring your own pencil” is the advice for voters visiting their local polling stations this week as Wales faces a democratic process like never before. The ongoing realities of living with Covid means that this year’s Senedd election will be like no other, with counting and electoral staff facing unprecedented challenges to ensure a fair and accurate poll. With social distancing also meaning that fewer counting staff will be on hand at some of the various counts, the process of sorting and eventually counting the votes won’t start until Friday morning, with the final makeup of the new Senedd not expected until the early evening.
