Rwyf o’r farn y dylid newid blwyddyn yr etholiad cyffredin er mwyn ethol cynghorwyr i Gyngor Sir Ynys Môn, gan ei gynnal ym mis Mai 2013 yn hytrach na mis Mai 2012\.

 Ym mis Mawrth 2011, yn dilyn adroddiad ac argymhelliad gan Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru, fe gyfarwyddais y Comisiwn Ffiniau Llywodraeth Leol i adolygu’r trefniadau etholiadol ar Ynys Môn. O dan y Cyfarwyddyd i’r Comisiwn, roedd gofyn iddo gyflwyno ei adroddiad terfynol i Weinidogion Cymru erbyn 30 Medi 2011\. 

 Rhoddwyd y gorau i waith y Comisiwn dros dro yn sgil cyhoeddi adroddiad Mathias, sef adolygiad annibynnol o’r materion ansawdd ac amserlennu a oedd yn gysylltiedig â rhaglen y Comisiwn o adolygiadau etholiadol. O ganlyniad i adolygiad Mathias, a’r camau a ddeilliodd o hwnnw, nid oedd yn bosibl cwblhau’r adolygiad o drefniadau etholiadol Ynys Môn mewn pryd. 

 Mae’r Comisiwn wedi ailddechrau ar ei waith erbyn hyn, ac wedi cyhoeddi ei adroddiad drafft ar y trefniadau etholiadol ar Ynys Môn at ddiben ymgynghori. Mae adroddiad drafft y Comisiwn yn argymell newidiadau sylweddol. Mae’r Comisiwn yn bwriadu cyhoeddi ei adroddiad terfynol erbyn 30 Mawrth 2012\.  

 Ni fydd yn bosibl felly ystyried adroddiad terfynol y Comisiwn ac, os bydd hynny’n briodol, cyflwyno unrhyw newidiadau cyn etholiadau lleol mis Mai 2012\.   

 O ganlyniad rwyf o’r farn y dylwn arfer fy mhwerau o dan adran 87 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 2000 i symud yr etholiad cyffredin ar gyfer cynghorwyr sir a chynghorwyr cymuned a thref o fis Mai 2012 i fis Mai 2013\. Rwy’n bwriadu ymgynghori â llywodraeth leol, y pleidiau gwleidyddol a’r cyrff a’r unigolion eraill sydd â diddordeb yn y cynnig hwn cyn penderfynu ar y mater yn derfynol.   








Translation:


 
I am minded to change the year in which the ordinary election of councillors on the County of Anglesey is to be held by one year from May 2012 to May 2013\.


In March 2011, following a report and recommendation from the Auditor General for Wales, I instructed the Local Government Boundary Commission to conduct a review of the electoral arrangements in the County of Anglesey The Direction to the Commission required them to submit their final report to Welsh Ministers by 30 September 2011\.


The Commission’s work was suspended following publication of the Mathias report \- an independent review of the timetabling and quality issues associated with the electoral review programme by the Commission. As a result of the Mathias review and its resultant actions the deadline for completing the review of Anglesey’s electoral arrangements could not be adhered to.


The work of the Commission has now resumed. The Commission has published its draft report on the electoral arrangements in Anglesey for consultation. The Commission’s draft report recommends considerable change. The Commission intends to publish its final report by 30 March 2012\. 


It will therefore not be possible to consider the Commission’s final report and, if appropriate, give effect to any changes ahead of the May 2012 local elections.  


I am, therefore, minded to exercise my powers under section 87 of the Local Government Act 2000 to change the year in which the ordinary election of county councillors and town and community councillors is to be held, from May 2012 to May 2013\. I propose to consult with local government, political parties  and other interested parties on this proposal before arriving at a final decision on the matter.
