Torfaen Council are appealing to residents to return their annual canvass forms which were delivered through letterboxes during July.
The Leader of Torfaen Council, Cllr Anthony Hunt, said: ‘Taking part in the democratic process gives the residents of Torfaen the power to decide who makes the decisions on the issues that they care about, including the NHS, housing, education and the environment and for the first time in Wales, 16 and 17 year olds will now be able to have their say on who represents them on matters in Wales.
‘This is important, particularly as our 16 and 17 year old young people and foreign nationals are now part of the democratic process in Senedd elections, so please make sure you don’t lose your vote. Please return the form marked B by the 16th of August to have your say in the next election which will take place in May 2021.’
Visit www.hef-response.co.uk/torfaen to complete the canvass form in a few minutes or simply complete and post it back to the council in the freepost envelope.

Mae Cyngor Torfaen yn apelio i drigolion ddychwelyd eu ffurflenni canfasiad blynyddol a gafodd eu postio yn ystod mis Gorffennaf.
Meddai Arweinydd Cyngor Torfaen, y Cynghorydd Anthony Hunt: ‘Mae cymryd rhan yn y broses ddemocrataidd yn rhoi’r grym i drigolion Torfaen benderfynu pwy sy’n cymryd y penderfyniadau ar y materion sy’n bwysig iddyn nhw, gan gynnwys y GIG, tai, addysg a’r amgylchedd ac am y tro cyntaf yng Nghymru, bydd pobl 16 ac 17 oed nawr yn gallu lleisio barn ar bwy sy’n eu cynrychioli nhw ar faterion yng Nghymru.
‘Mae hyn yn bwysig, yn enwedig gan fod ein pobl ifanc 16 ac 17 oed a dinasyddion tramor nawr yn rhan o’r broses ddemocrataidd yn etholiadau’r Senedd, felly gwnewch yn siŵr nad ydych yn colli eich pleidlais. Dychwelwch ffurflen B erbyn 16eg Awst er mwyn cael dweud eich dweud yn yr etholiad nesaf, a fydd yn cael ei chynnal ym mis Mai 2021.’
Ewch i www.hef-response.co.uk/torfaen i gwblhau’r ffurflen mewn ychydig o funudau, neu cwblhewch y fersiwn papur a’i bostio’n ôl i’r cyngor yn yr amlen radbost.
