"It's hard enough to communicate one change...let alone all these changes. But I think the message to voters is register to vote and turn out on 7 May."
"There's a lot of change coming this way,"
"I haven't got a clue about none of it,"
"I read a lot of news on my phone and on TV and stuff and I've not heard of these changes,"
Senedd representation will rise from 60 to 96 members for the May election. Constituency boundaries and the voting system will change, increasing ballot complexity. Polls indicate a possible political shake-up with Labour's dominance challenged by Plaid Cymru and Reform. Historically fewer than 50% of eligible voters have turned out for Assembly or Senedd elections, with low turnout linked to lack of clarity and limited media coverage. Election campaigners warn that communicating multiple simultaneous changes will be a significant challenge. Public awareness appears low, with many voters unaware of the changes and asking for more information.
