Minutes:

The Committee considered the correspondence received and, in light of the fact that it is too late for any changes to be made in relation to the 2021 Senedd election and the responses received, including that the Electoral Commission will produce a statutory report following the election containing recommendations for future polls, agreed that there is little further action that the Committee could take at the present time. It therefore agreed to close the petition and thank the petitioners.
