Section 7 – Power to provide for additional polling days

24.This section enables the Welsh Ministers to make regulations which allow polling for the 2021 election to take place on specified days, in addition to the day on which the poll for the election is due to take place. But additional polling days for the Senedd election are not permitted if the day of the poll for the 2021 Senedd election is on the same day as the poll for the election of police and crime commissioners in Wales.
