AM’S call over Youth Parliament

GOWER AM Rebecca Evans has reminded local young people aged between 11 and 18 to register and vote in the Welsh Youth Parliament elections.

A total of 40 seats are up for grabs, with 480 young people standing as candidates, including 10 in Gower. Voters must register to take part, and more than 13,000 11 to 18-yearolds across Wales have already signed up.

It is not too late to register to vote - you just need an email address, your postcode, and you will be asked for your date of birth. Once elected, Welsh Youth Parliament Members serve for two years.

Rebecca Evans said: “It takes courage to put yourself forward, and I am wishing all our candidates in Gower the very best. I urge anyone eligible who hasn’t registered to vote to visit the Welsh Youth Parliament website.”
