I am using my powers under section 87 of the Local Government Act 2000 to lay before the National Assembly an Order which changes the year of the ordinary local government elections from the first Thursday in May 2021 to the first Thursday in May 2022\. 


In June 2016, the then Minister for Finance and Local Government, announced his decision to change the year of the ordinary local government elections from May 2016 to May 2017 so that the local government elections would not coincide with the National Assembly and Police and Crime Commissioner elections.


At the present time, the ordinary local government elections in Wales take place on the first Thursday in May every four years. The next elections are scheduled for May 2021\.  This is also the date for the next elections to the National Assembly for Wales. 


The Wales Act 2017 amended the Representation of the People Act 1983 and prevents local government elections from being held on the same day as the ordinary elections to the National Assembly.  In such situations the Welsh Ministers are required to change the year of the local government elections by Order. 


The Local Authorities (Change to the Year of Ordinary Elections (Wales) Order 2019does not change the cycle of local government elections. It will only move the next ordinary local government elections by one year from May 2021 to May 2022\.  


It is the intention of the Welsh Government to bring forward legislation to permanently move the term of office for local government elected members to five years.  The Local Government and Elections (Wales) Bill is intended to be introduced in the autumn to provide for this.

Rwy'n arfer fy mhwerau dan adran 87 Deddf Llywodraeth Leol 2000 i gyflwyno Gorchymyn gerbron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol sy'n newid blwyddyn yr etholiadau llywodraeth leol cyffredin o'r dydd Iau cyntaf ym mis Mai 2021 i ddydd Iau cyntaf mis Mai 2022\. 


Ym mis Mehefin 2016, cyhoeddodd y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol ar y pryd ei benderfyniad i newid blwyddyn etholiadau llywodraeth leol cyffredin o fis Mai 2016 i fis Mai 2017 fel na fyddai etholiadau llywodraeth leol yn cyd\-daro ag etholiadau'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol ac etholiadau Comisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu.


Ar hyn o bryd, cynhelir yr etholiadau llywodraeth leol cyffredin yng Nghymru ar y dydd Iau cyntaf ym mis Mai bob pedair blynedd. Mae'r etholiadau nesaf wedi'u trefnu ar gyfer mis Mai 2021\. Dyma ddyddiad etholiad nesaf Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru hefyd. 


Diwygiodd Deddf Cymru 2017 Ddeddf Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl 1983 ac mae'n atal cynnal etholiadau llywodraeth leol ar yr un diwrnod ag etholiadau cyffredin i'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol. Mewn sefyllfaoedd o'r fath, mae angen i Weinidogion Cymru newid blwyddyn etholiadau llywodraeth leol drwy Orchymyn. 


Nid yw Gorchymyn Awdurdodau Lleol (Newid Blynyddoedd Etholiadau Cyffredin) (Cymru) 2019 yn newid cylch etholiadau llywodraeth leol. Bydd ond yn symud yr etholiadau llywodraeth leol  cyffredin  nesaf un flwyddyn o fis Mai 2021 i fis Mai 2022\.  


Bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru yw cyflwyno deddfwriaeth i newid tymor swydd aelodau etholedig llywodraeth leol yn barhaol i bum mlynedd. Y bwriad yw  gwneud hwn trwy  Bil Llywodraeth Leol ac Etholiadau (Cymru)   a fydd yn  cael ei gyflwyno yn yr hydref.
