Candidates confirmed for Senedd race in Casnewydd Islwyn

A total of 41 candidates will stand for the Casnewydd Islwyn constituency at May’s Senedd elections.

They will contest the seat on Thursday May 7, when six seats are up for grabs.

The elections mark the introduction of both a new voting system and an expanded Welsh Parliament, which will grow from 60 to 96 seats.

At the polling station, voters will be asked to select one party on their ballot papers – with seats allocated according to each party’s vote share.

The higher up a candidate has been ranked by their party, the more likely they are to win a seat.
