Ateb
Atebwyd gan Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Because of the pandemic, we did not legislate as planned in the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 to enfranchise certain prisoners from Wales for local government elections, as part of their rehabilitation. This remains an important issue within our electoral reform agenda and we will return to it during the current Senedd.
