Forty candidates standing for Clwyd in Senedd Elections

A total of 40 candidates will contest the new Clwyd constituency, which includes Llangollen and replaces the old Clwyd South seat, in the Welsh Senedd Elections on Thursday May 7. 

Voters will receive one ballot paper and will have one vote to choose a representative.  

The local polling station at the Town Hall in Castle Street is open from 7am until 10pm on the day. 

You should mark your ballot paper with just one cross (X) in the box next to your choice of political party or independent candidate you wish to represent the constituency in the Senedd.  

The ballot paper will still show the full list of candidates in the political party's list. If a party wins enough votes they will win one or more seats in the Senedd. If an independent candidate wins enough votes, they win a Senedd seat.

The more votes a political party or independent candidate gets, the more seats they will win.

The people at the top of each political party's list are elected first. How many candidates are elected will depend on how many votes the party wins.  

Wales now has a total of 16 constituencies, each of which will elect six candidates, making a total of 96 members instead of the previous 60.
