Rwyf o'r farn, yn yr amgylchiadau presennol a ddaeth yn sgil pandemig Covid-19, y dylai fod rhywfaint o hyblygrwydd i Swyddogion Cofrestru Etholiadol gynnal y canfasiad mewn ffordd sy'n gymesur â gofynion iechyd y cyhoedd, a gellir cyflawni hyn drwy symud y dyddiad terfynol y mae'n rhaid cyhoeddi cofrestr etholwyr 2020. Nid yw hyn yn golygu na ellir cyhoeddi cofrestrau ond ar 1 Chwefror 2021, gall Swyddogion Cofrestru Etholiadol ddewis eu cyhoeddi ar 1 Rhagfyr 2020 fel arfer neu ar unrhyw ddyddiad arall hyd at, a chan gynnwys, 1 Chwefror 2021. Byddai Swyddogion Cofrestru Etholiadol yn rhydd i ddechrau gweithio ar y canfasiad blynyddol ym mis Gorffennaf fel arfer, ond bydd mwy o amser ar gael iddynt i sicrhau y gellir rhoi trefniadau priodol ar waith i gynnal y canfasiad yn ddiogel.
I am of the view that in the current circumstances brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic there should be some flexibility for Electoral Registration Officers to carry out the canvass in a way which is commensurate with public health requirements and this can be achieved by moving the final date by which the 2020 electoral register must be published. This does not mean that registers may only be published on the 1 February 2021, Electoral Registration Officers may choose to publish on 1 December 2020 as usual or on any other date up to, and including, the 1 February 2021.  Electoral Registration Officers would be free to commence work on the annual canvass in July as usual but will have more time available to them to ensure that appropriate arrangements to safely conduct the canvass can be put in place.
