Senedd and Elections (Wales) Act 2020 (2020 anaw 1)

The Senedd and Elections (Wales) Act 2020 was pivotal in shaping the democratic structure of Wales. It extends the electoral franchise for Senedd elections to include 16 and 17-year-olds and qualifying foreign citizens resident in Wales. It officially changes the name of the National Assembly for Wales to "Senedd Cymru" or "the Welsh Parliament". The Act also makes significant changes in terms of governance and accountability, particularly in electoral administration and increasing the transparency associated with individual political donations. This legislation underscores Wales' commitment to a more inclusive and transparent political system.
