Commenting on the recommendation by the Committee for Senedd Electoral Reform that the Senedd moves to the Single Transferable Vote (STV) by 2026 a spokesperson for the Welsh Liberal Democrats said:
“Liberal Democrats have long called for a truly democratic voting system which delivers maximum and equal power to the voter and gives the people of Wales a representative Senedd that reflects the way they vote.
“STV is a such a simple system that even a young child can understand it. It is used in countless parliaments around the world as well as by sports clubs and societies to elect chairs and captains due to its simplicity and fairness.
“We completely support this proposal and encourage other parties to do the same.”
