Grŵp 7: Amrywiaeth ymhlith personau sy’n ceisio swydd etholedig (Gwelliannau 107, 24, 52, 53, 110, 32, 43)
Diolch, Chair. Again, thank you to Peter Fox for opening the debate, and for the contributions that you've made on this, Adam. Can I speak first to amendment 107? This amendment would require candidate surveys to include questions about candidates' experience…

Grŵp 6: Cymorth i bleidleiswyr ag anableddau (Gwelliannau 9, 111)
Thank you, Chair. Diolch, Chair. If I speak first of all—. Thank you for the contributions. It's an important matter that you raise; I will address that towards the end of some of the responses. Speaking first to amendment 9, amendment 9 places a duty on…

Grŵp 5: Rheoliadau diwygio etholiadol (Gwelliannau 105, 106, 21, 22, 23)
Diolch, Chair. I won't be supporting amendments 105 and 106 on electoral reform regulations. The amendments are overly restrictive. Electoral law already specifies numerous offences in various situations, so to essentially exclude these entirely from all…

I think it's just that the drafting of it I don't think incorporates something that will involve a civic duty that would enable something then that would have to create a criminal offence in terms of that penalty. That's, I think, the mechanical part of the…

I can't support the amendments, because they would allow Ministers to pilot fundamental changes to the electoral system using secondary legislation, and we don't think it's appropriate that the rights and duties of citizens can be changed in this way through…

Grŵp 3: Cofrestru etholiadol (Gwelliannau 99, 2, 3, 16, 100, 127, 44, 45)
Diolch, Chair. Firstly, I thank Peter Fox and Adam Price for the constructive contributions. I'm not going to be asking Members to support these amendments. Amendment 2 sets two different requirements for anonymous registration between devolved and reserved…

Grŵp 2: Bwrdd Rheoli Etholiadol (Gwelliannau 98, 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
Thank you, Chair. I won't be supporting Peter Fox’s amendment 98, which removes the power for Welsh Ministers to make regulations that specify the provisions for which the EMB would be responsible. The power is, in my view, required as Welsh Ministers may…

Grŵp 1: Comisiwn Democratiaeth a Ffiniau Cymru - swyddogaethau (Gwelliannau 115, 116, 121)
No, just that I agree very much with those sentiments, and, as I initially said, for me, with such momentous change for 2026, I'm very concerned that the focus is to ensure that 2026 is a robust election that works. It's central, which means there's focus…

Yn gyntaf oll, rwy'n credu bod system rhestr gaeedig yn creu cyfle. Mae'n gyfle y gellir ei fachu, ac rwy'n credu bod yr holl dystiolaeth yn dangos bod y system honno'n un sy'n cyfrannu mwy at wella amrywiaeth na'r system rhestr hyblyg. Ond yr hyn rwy'n ei…

Mae datganoli'n ymwneud â datganoli pŵer. Mae'n ymwneud â dod â'r broses o wneud penderfyniadau yn nes at bobl Cymru. Mae'n ymwneud â grymuso: grymuso pobl a chymunedau yn y penderfyniadau sy’n effeithio ar fywydau pob unigolyn yng Nghymru. Ac eto, er bod…

Braint yw gallu gwneud y cynnig ar y Bil pwysig yma. Heddiw, rŷn ni'n creu hanes. Dau ddeg pum mlynedd yn ôl, ar 6 Mai 1999, roedd pobl Cymru wedi ethol Cynulliad Cenedlaethol cyntaf Cymru. Bryd hynny, doedd dim pwerau deddfu go iawn. Doedd dim rhaniad rhwng…
