Yr etholiadau llywodraeth leol a gynhelir ym mis Mai 2022 yw’r cyfle cyntaf i wneud cynnydd tuag at sicrhau bod etholiadau yng Nghymru mor hygyrch â phosibl a bod pawb sy’n dymuno pleidleisio yn gallu pleidleisio. Mae’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol wedi ysgrifennu i Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru heddiw, i egluro sut yr ydym yn bwriadu symud yn ein blaenau gyda’r cam cyntaf hwn o ddiwygio etholiadol. Cyhoeddir y datganiad hwn yn ystod y toriad er mwyn i’r Aelodau gael eu hysbysu ynghylch y sefyllfa ddiweddaraf ar yr un pryd.
The forthcoming local government elections in May 2022 are the first opportunity to make progress towards ensuring elections in Wales are as accessible as possible and that everyone who wants to vote can vote. The Minister for Finance and Local Government has today written to the Welsh Local Government Association to explain how we intend to take forward this first phase of electoral reform. To allow Members to be updated in parallel, this statement is being published during recess.
