Form 6

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order replaces and revokes the European Parliamentary Elections (Welsh Forms) Order 1979 (“the 1979 Order”). The forms prescribed by Schedule 1 to this Order are versions partly in Welsh and partly in English which must be used at a European Parliamentary election in Wales for the purposes referred to in article 4 of this Order. The forms prescribed by Schedule 2 to this Order are Welsh versions of certain forms which may be used at a European Parliamentary election in Wales.
The differences between this Order and the 1979 Order are as follows. The bilingual versions of the official poll cards in Schedule 1 to this Order are based on the revised versions of those cards prescribed by the Representation of the People Regulations 1986, as applied by the European Parliamentary Elections Regulations 1986. In addition Schedule 1 now prescribes a bilingual version of the voting compartment notice and the declarations of identity prescribed by the Representation of the People Regulations 1986.
Schedule 2 to this Order omits the Welsh version of the declaration of secrecy consequent on the repeal of the requirement for such a declaration but includes the Welsh version of the directions for the guidance of the voters in voting.
(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Gorchymyn)
Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn disodli a diddymu'r European Parliamentary Elections (Welsh Forms) Order 1979 (“Gorchymyn 1979”). Mae'r ffurflenni a bennir gan Atodiad 1 y Gorchymyn hwn yn fersiynau rhannol Gymraeg a rhannol Saesneg y mae rhaid eu defnyddio mewn etholiad Senedd Ewrop yng Nghymru at y dibenion y cyfeirir atynt yn erthygl 4 y Gorchymyn hwn. Mae'r ffurflenni a bennir gan Atodiad 2 y Gorchymyn hwn yn fersiynau Cymraeg o rai ffurflenni y gellir eu defnyddio mewn etholiad Senedd Ewrop yng Nghymru.
Mae'r gwahaniaethau rhwng y Gorchymyn hwn a Gorchymyn 1979 fel a ganlyn. Seilir fersiynau dwyieithog y cardiau pleidleisio swyddogol yn Atodiad 1 y Gorchymyn hwn ar y fersiynau diwygiedig o'r cardiau hynny a bennwyd gan Reolau Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl 1986, fel y'u cymhwyswyd gan Reolau Etholiadau Senedd Ewrop 1986. Hefyd, mae Atodiad 1 bellach yn pennu fersiwn dwyieithog o'r rhybudd cabanau pleidleisio a'r datganiadau ynglŷn ag adnabyddiaeth a bennir gan Reolau Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl 1986.
Mae Atodiad 2 y Gorchymyn hwn yn hepgor fersiwn Cymraeg y datganiad cyfrinachedd o ganlyniad i ddiddymu'r gofyniad am ddatganiad o'r fath ond mae'n cynnwys fersiwn Cymraeg o'r cyfarwyddiadau i bleidleiswyr wrth bleidleisio.
