SENEDD election hopefuls for the Brycheiniog Tawe Nedd constituency have a week to get their nomination papers in to Powys council for the forthcoming election on May 7.
The Senedd elections, which will see voters go to the polls on Thursday, May 7 is vastly different this time around.
The number of Senedd members is increase from 60 members to 96 with fewer and larger constituencies created by pairing up Wales’ 32 Westminster seats into 16 super constituencies.
This means that the seat of Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe has been paired with Neath and Swansea East to create the Brycheiniog Tawe Nedd constituency and encompasses a large swathe of Mid and South Wales.
It runs from Knighton right on the border with England down to Crickhowell and from the Powys county toe of Llandrindod Wells across to Llanwrtyd Wells.
The new constituency includes the Bannau Brycheiniog national park and runs above and across the South Wales Valleys before dipping down to Ystradgynlais, Ystalyfera, Neath and on to Llansamlet and Llandarcy on the eastern edge of Swansea.
Powys County Council is managing the election with the count to be held on Friday, May 8, at the Royal Welsh Showground in Llanelwedd.
The returning officer is Emma Palmer the chief executing of Powys council.
Nomination papers can be obtained from the office of the constituency returning officer, at County Hall, Llandrindod Wells, LD1 5LG or electronically via [email protected].
