Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Act 2024

Determining the names of the Senedd constituencies

50.Paragraph 5 sets out how the names of Senedd constituencies are to be determined, and the actions the Commission must take when determining those names, including consultation with the Welsh Language Commissioner on the orthography of any names proposed. Constituencies must have a single name for use in Welsh and English, unless the Commission consider this to be unacceptable. If so, constituencies may have different names for use in communication through Welsh and English. If there are different names, there is a requirement to include both names in the Welsh and English versions of the Commission’s reports.
