Why should I vote?

Wales has its own parliament – the Senedd. This means the Senedd, not the UK Parliament,makes laws for Wales that affect your everyday life. Things like schools, hospitals, farming, transport and the Welsh language. 

When you vote,  you’re helping to choose the people who will represent your community in the Senedd, and shape the kind of country you want to live in.  

With a new voting system, new constituencies, and new Members in 2026, the election on 7 May 2026 is a great time to get involved.
