The Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales (known in Welsh as Comisiwn Ffiniau Llywodraeth Leol i Gymru) is an independent body in Wales responsible for defining borders for local elections. Established in 1974, its role is to keep under review all local government areas in Wales, and the electoral arrangements for the principal areas, and to make such proposals to the National Assembly for Wales as seem desirable in the interests of effective and convenient local government.
Electoral arrangements in six authorities have been reviewed since the last round of Welsh local elections in 1999, and the changes will be implemented at the elections on June 10, 2004.
The Commission also recently reviewed and amended some of the boundaries of the preserved counties of Wales.
