From 2026 , there will be 96 members of the Senedd - 30 more than now.
New system will have 16 constituencies instead of 40 first past the post and party lists.
Each constituency will be formed by pairing up the 32 seats for Westminster .
The largest seat is 1,927 sq miles ( 4,992 sq km ) - stretching from the Lln to the border with England .
Some rural areas will share constituencies with the urban valleys.
Carmarthenshire will be a seat to itself, merged from Caerfyrddin and Llanelli .
Brecon , Radnor and Cwm Tawe will be paired with Neath and Swansea East .
Voters will only be able to back a party, rather than a specific candidate.
Electoral maps for Westminster elections and Senedd elections are now going to look radically different.
Reform UK , which has no Welsh seats in the Senedd or Westminster, is hoping the new Welsh Parliament will be an opportunity for the party.
