With only 2 weeks to go until the voter registration deadline for the Senedd election on May 7, 2026, if you want to vote, must make sure you’re registered.
The deadline to register to vote is midnight on Monday, April 20. Voters can apply online on GOV.UK’s register to vote page – it only takes five minutes.
As long as you’ve registered you’ll be sent a polling card before May 7 so you can vote in person on election day. You will also be able to apply for a postal or proxy vote.
Voters in Wales will not need to show photo ID to vote in this election.
Alwyn Jones, constituency returning officer for Fflint Wrecsam, said: “Without registering to vote you’ll lose your chance to have your say at the Senedd election in May. Senedd elections are an important opportunity to have your say on who represents you and makes decisions about issues that directly affect day-to-day life.”
Rhydian Thomas, head of the Electoral Commission Wales, said: “It’s important that people check they’re ready to vote ahead of the upcoming Senedd election on 7 May. All voters must be registered, and some may need to apply for a postal or proxy vote. 16-17 year olds and foreign nationals living in Wales are also eligible to vote at this election, and photo ID will not be required.
