Rejected petition Introduce the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system for the 2026 Senedd elections.

It is proposed to increase the number of Senedd Members from 60 to 96, for the next elections in 2026, by pairing the planned 32 Westminster constituencies into 16 'super constituencies' each electing 6 Senedd Members.

With voters being offered party lists rather than a free choice of who to vote for. This risks both alienating people from the electoral process and undermining devolution itself.
