Introduction
1.These explanatory notes are for the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Act 2020 which was passed by the National Assembly for Wales on 27 November 2019 and received Royal Assent on 15 January 2020. They have been prepared by officials of the Assembly Commission on behalf of Elin Jones AM, the Member in Charge of the Act, to assist the reader of the Act.
2.The explanatory Notes should be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So, where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
