Bangor Conwy Môn (Welsh for 'Bangor, Conwy [and] Anglesey (Ynys Môn)'; ⓘ) is a six-member constituency of the Senedd (Welsh Parliament; Welsh: Senedd Cymru) used in the 2026 Senedd election. It is located in North Wales and includes Anglesey, northern Gwynedd, most of Conwy County Borough, and part of western Denbighshire.
It was proposed following the 2026 review of Senedd constituencies, and is a pairing of the two UK Parliament constituencies of Bangor Aberconwy and Ynys Môn. It has a Welsh-only name.
Boundaries
The constituency includes the entire county of Anglesey, the area around Bangor and Bethesda in Gwynedd, Conwy County Borough with the exception of the coastline around Colwyn Bay and Abergele, and the western part of central Denbighshire.
A Senedd constituency comprising the boundaries of the UK Parliament constituencies of Bangor Aberconwy and Ynys Môn was proposed by the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru for the 2026 election to the Senedd (Welsh Parliament; Senedd Cymru). It was initially proposed using the name Bangor Aberconwy Môn in September 2024,[2] but was shortened to Bangor Conwy Môn in December proposals, with most constituencies using Welsh-only names.[3] The Welsh-only name and boundaries were confirmed in the commission's final recommendations in March 2025.[4] When announcing their candidates, Reform UK used "Bangor Aberconwy, Ynys Môn" instead, using the names for the pair of UK Parliament constituencies that form it.[5]
The constituency was established in 2026, following the passing of the Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Act 2024. The act legislates electoral reform of the Senedd to create 16 larger "super constituencies", pairing the 32 UK Parliament constituencies in Wales, and using a new fully proportional voting system, with each constituency electing six Members of the Senedd (MSs) rather than one previously.[2]
