Fis Tachwedd 2011, cyhoeddais fy mod o’r farn y dylid newid blwyddyn yr etholiad cyffredin i ethol cynghorwyr i Gyngor Sir Ynys Môn, gan ei gynnal flwyddyn yn ddiweddarach ym mis Mai 2013 yn hytrach na mis Mai 2012. Cyhoeddais hynny yn sgil adroddiad Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru a gyhoeddwyd ar 16 Mawrth 2011. Roedd hwn yn argymell rhaglen o adnewyddu democrataidd ar gyfer y Cyngor, gan gynnwys adolygiad o’i drefniadau etholiadol gan y Comisiwn Ffiniau Llywodraeth Leol i Gymru, ac y dylai unrhyw newidiadau gael eu cyflwyno cyn yr etholiadau llywodraeth leol nesaf. Yn ei adroddiad, aeth yr Archwilydd Cyffredinol yn ei flaen i argymell, pe na bai hi’n bosibl gweithredu’r newidiadau i’r trefniadau etholiadol yn sgil adolygiad y Comisiwn Ffiniau cyn etholiadau 2012, y dylid ystyried defnyddio’r pŵer o dan adran 87 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 2000 i ohirio’r etholiad tan fis Mai 2013.
In November 2011 I announced that I was minded to change the year in which the ordinary election of councillors in the County of the Isle of Anglesey would be held by one year from May 2012 to May 2013.  I did this in the light of the report by the Auditor General for Wales of 16 March 2011.  This recommended a programme of democratic renewal of the Council, including a review of their electoral arrangements by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales and that any changes should be implemented ahead of the next local government elections. In his report the Auditor General went on to recommend that should it not be possible to implement changes to electoral arrangements resultant from the Boundary Commission’s review ahead of the 2012 elections, consideration should be given to using the power under section 87 of the Local Government Act 2000 to delay the elections to May 2013.
