Anyone who develops symptoms, or is asked to self-isolate shortly before polling day, has up to 5pm on polling day to apply for an emergency proxy vote. This allows them to nominate someone they trust to vote on their behalf. Dilwyn Williams, Gwynedd Returning Officer, said: “Your poll card will tell you where to find your polling station. Make sure you check the information on your polling card, as your polling station might have changed since the last elections.
With a week to go to go until voters go to the polls for the Senedd and Police and Crime Commissioner elections on 6 May, the people of Gwynedd are being urged to get ready to vote. Election staff have worked hard to make sure polling stations will be safe places to vote on 6 May. People voting in person are encouraged to keep themselves and others safe. Be ready to vote by: wearing a face covering, keeping a safe distance, bring your own pen or pencil to cast your vote, using hand sanitiser when entering and leaving the polling station.
