5 May elections and referendum results
Election results
Votes in the National Assembly for Wales elections were counted in the South Wales and Mid and West Wales regions from 10pm on Thursday 5 May. Counting in the North Wales region began at 9am on Friday 6 May.
Elections in Wales are run on a constituency by constituency basis. This means verified results are not collected centrally. However, results are available from other sources including the BBC.
Referendum result
The final result of the UK-wide referendum was declared on 7 May, delivering a 'no' to changing the UK Parliamentary voting system.
