Dear

ATISN 16283 – Young Voters

Thank you for your request to the Welsh Government for information under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) received on 26 April 2022.  You requested the following:

• How many 16-17 year olds held in secure accommodation registered to vote in the 2021 Senedd Election.

Our Response

Welsh Government does not hold the information requested.

In this particular instance, you may wish to contact Local Authorities as they may hold this information. I have provided contacts points below at Annex A to this letter for your convenience.

Next Steps

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:

Information Rights Unit, 
Welsh Government,
Cathays Park, 
Cardiff,

or Email: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales

Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

Information Commissioner’s Office, 
Wycliffe House, 
Water Lane, 
Wilmslow,

However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.

Yours sincerely
