Version Superseded: 03/05/2007
Point in time view as at 01/01/2001. This version of this provision has been superseded.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Government of Wales Act 1998, Section 7 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 19 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
(1)The first seat for the Assembly electoral region shall be allocated to the party or individual candidate with the highest electoral region figure.
(2)The second and subsequent seats for the Assembly electoral region shall be allocated to the party or individual candidate with the highest electoral region figure after any recalculation required by subsection (3) has been carried out.
(3)This subsection requires a recalculation under section 6(1)(b) in relation to a party—
(a)for the first application of subsection (2), if the application of subsection (1) resulted in the allocation of a seat to the party, or
(b)for any subsequent application of subsection (2), if the previous application of that subsection did so;
and a recalculation shall be carried out after adding one to the aggregate mentioned in section 6(1)(b).
(4)An individual candidate already returned as an Assembly member shall be disregarded.
(5)Seats for the Assembly electoral region which are allocated to a party shall be filled by the persons on the party’s list in the order in which they appear on the list.
(6)Once a party’s list has been exhausted (by the return of persons included on it as Assembly members for Assembly constituencies or by the previous application of subsection (1) or (2)) the party shall be disregarded.
(7)If (on the application of subsection (1) or any application of subsection (2)) the highest electoral region figure is the electoral region figure of two or more parties or individual candidates, the subsection shall apply to each of them.
(8)However, where subsection (7) would mean that more than the full number of seats for the Assembly electoral region were allocated, subsection (1) or (2) shall not apply until—
(a)a recalculation has been carried out under section 6(1)(b) after adding one to the number of votes given for each party with that electoral region figure, and
(b)one has been added to the number of votes given for each individual candidate with that electoral region figure.
(9)If, after that, the highest electoral region figure is still the electoral region figure of two or more parties or individual candidates, the regional returning officer shall decide between them by lots.
(10)For the purposes of subsection (5) and section 9 a person included on a list submitted by a registered political party who is returned as an Assembly member shall be treated as ceasing to be on the list (even if his return is void).
