Welsh residents will find their new set of MSs all loaded into our WriteToThem site - ready for you to make contact!

The new members have also been loaded into TheyWorkForYou, so you can also set up alerts to receive an email any time they speak, or whenever a topic you care about is mentioned in debates.

And if you're an organisation or campaign that relied on mapping your supporters to the *previous* constituencies, don't worry, we've got you covered with our super-simple converter tool. Just paste in your list of postcodes and it'll match them to the new boundaries.

Read more about all of these: https://www.mysociety.org/2026/05/19/welsh-residents-now-have-six-mss-and-they-all-work-for-you/

Whether or not you voted, or no matter who you voted for, every person in Wales is now represented by six MSs in the Senedd. And the good news is, we’re here to help you navigate the new system! ✉️ You can find out who your six MSs are, and contact all or some of them, through WriteToThem.
