The Representation of the People (Amendment) (Wales) (Coronavirus) (No. 2) Regulations 2021 temporarily extend these provisions to 28 March 2022. After this date, no local by-elections of any kind may be held before the ordinary local elections in May. We will consider separately what arrangements will need to be in place for the local government ordinary elections in May next year. I am grateful to the Members of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee for their expedited consideration of these regulations and I look forward to hearing the views of Members.
