The sign for the Senedd, the Welsh parliament building in Cardiff, July 16, 2024
“At local level, it’s different."
WELSH voters will be grouped in new, larger constituencies when they choose their next Senedd in two years’ time.
Sixteen mega-constituencies will elect six members each under a proportional representation system, as revealed under proposals issued on Tuesday.
At present, there are 60 Senedd members, chosen through a mixture of single-seat constituencies and regional lists.
