Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru

About Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru

The Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru is an independent body established to oversee the electoral boundaries and ensure fair representation in Wales. Our primary mission is to promote democratic engagement and enhance the integrity of the electoral process.

We conduct regular reviews of electoral arrangements, ensuring that constituencies are drawn fairly and reflect the population distribution across Wales. This involves extensive research, public consultations, and collaboration with local authorities to gather insights and feedback from communities.

Our vision is to create a transparent and accountable electoral system that empowers citizens and encourages participation in democracy. We believe that every vote matters, and our work is crucial in maintaining the balance of representation in the Welsh Parliament.

In addition to boundary reviews, we also provide guidance and support to local councils and electoral officers, helping them navigate the complexities of electoral law and best practices. Our team comprises experts in law, geography, and public policy, dedicated to upholding the principles of democracy.

Through our initiatives, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of voting and civic engagement, fostering a culture where every individual feels valued and heard. We are committed to continuous improvement and regularly assess our processes to adapt to changing demographics and societal needs.

Join us in our mission to strengthen democracy in Wales and ensure that every voice is represented fairly.
