Every vote counts

The 2026 Welsh Parliament Elections are fast approaching.

And with Plaid Cymru leading the polls, now is the moment to back the only party that always puts Wales and its people first.

Under the new voting system, your constituency will elect six representatives, which means that you can have a big say on who leads the next Welsh Government – Plaid Cymru or Reform.
