Wales tries early voting to tackle apathy

 

For the first time in a Welsh election some polling stations will open early, ahead of next week's main voting day.

Four councils will try new ways to raise turnout, especially as those aged 16 and 17 can vote for the first time.

Voters in Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly county borough, Torfaen and in some areas of Bridgend will be able to vote earlier than usual.

Other voters in Wales will go to the polls on 5 May to choose local councillors.

The flexible voting pilots are part of the Welsh government's plan to ensure the local elections in Wales are as "accessible as possible" and to try to get more young people voting.

Turnout for the Senedd 2021 election was 46.5%, while in the previous council elections, in 2017, 42% of those registered to vote cast their ballot.

The move was welcomed by Prof Laura McAllister of Cardiff University but she was not overly optimistic about the chances of success.

"All experiments and all innovations to try and get people to cast their votes are to be welcomed," she said.

"But I'm afraid that the evidence up until now shows that earlier voting - that is opening polling stations in particular areas before the designated day - usually has a very marginal impact on turnout."
