Voting has opened in the Welsh Youth Parliament elections.
Young people across Wales will cast their votes online from today until the 21st of November.
They will choose from 453 candidates to fill 60 seats with the winners to be announced during the first week of December.
To register to vote in the Welsh Youth Parliament Election you must be 11 to 17 years old and either live or receive your education in Wales. You can register to vote online here.
The new members will represent the views of their peers to the highest level of decision-makers in Wales and choose their own priority issues to focus on.
In the first term from 2018 to 2020, members voted to work on life skills in school, plastic waste, and emotional and mental health support for young people.
The second parliament, from 2021-2023, chose to prioritise the school curriculum, mental health and wellbeing, and the climate.
Members are supported to produce a report on each topic which Welsh Government Ministers respond to at meetings of all 60 Youth Parliament Members in the Senedd.
The first meeting of the third Welsh Youth Parliament will be held online during the second week of December.
