Exciting changes are coming for voters in North Wales! The 2026 Senedd election introduces the brand-new Bangor Conwy Môn super-constituency, which blends the areas of Bangor Aberconwy and Ynys Môn. This means electing six Senedd Members instead of the usual one, thanks to a revamped voting system where you choose a party rather than individual candidates.
Key changes to look forward to:
– A bigger Senedd with 96 members across Wales.
– New voting method—pick your preferred party, and members are chosen through proportional representation.
Who’s in the running for Bangor Conwy Môn’s new seats? Here’s a glimpse:
**Communist Party**: Jaime Fitter, a young activist pushing for educational opportunities and peace.
**Conservatives**: Janet Finch-Saunders, former Llandudno Mayor, champions investment in health and rural issues.
