“Thousands of 16 and 17 year olds are at risk of not having their say on 6th May” as not registered to vote
Early registration figures for next month’s Senedd election have shown thousands of 16 and 17 year olds are still not registered to vote- just days from the voter registration deadline.
Figures collected by the Electoral Reform Society from six of Wales’ local authorities show a “postcode lottery” on voter registration, with an estimated 33% of 16 and 17 year olds registered in Swansea compared with an estimated 65% in the Vale of Glamorgan.
The Senedd and Police and Crime Commissioner Elections on May 6 will be the first time that those aged 16 and 17 will be able to vote.

Oxford University researchers found the UK had the sixth harshest restrictions. Separate data from OurWorldInData.com showed the UK has suffered the fourth highest death toll of the pandemic.
