Explanatory note

This Order designates, for the purposes of a Senedd Cymru election at which the poll is held on or after 6th April 2026, offices whose holders are disqualified from being a Member of the Senedd (but not from being a candidate to be a Member of the Senedd). The offices are described in the Schedule to this Order.

Other disqualifying offices and categories of persons disqualified from being a Member of the Senedd (and in some cases from being a candidate to be a Member of the Senedd) are prescribed by section 16 of, and Schedule 1A to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32). This Order should be read with those provisions.

This Order revokes the Senedd Cymru (Disqualification) Order 2020 (S.I. 2020/1255), though that Order continues to have effect for a Senedd Cymru election at which the poll is held before 6th April 2026.
