What is the UK Youth Parliament?

Run by young people for young people, The UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) provides opportunities for 11-18 year olds to use their voice in creative ways to bring about social change. The UKYP is made up of over 300 MYPs (Members of Youth Parliament), who are elected by their peers in youth elections throughout the UK. Any young person aged 11-18 can stand or vote. Once elected, MYPs organise events and projects, run campaigns and influence decision makers on the issues which matter most to young people.

This Year’s Ballot

This year’s ballot had a very new format to previous years. There were 3 votes on the ballot paper,   1 vote for 5 UK wide topics, 1 vote for 5 Devolved topics and space to write a Local topic. The choices on the ballot paper were decided by Members of the Youth Parliament at an Annual Conference in August.

This year 6559 young people across Cardiff took part in Make your Mark, results are shown in the table below.

Beth yw Senedd Ieuenctid y DU?

Cynhelir hon gan bobl ifanc dros bobl ifanc; mae Senedd Ieuenctid y DU yn rhoi cyfleoedd i blant 11 i 18 oed leisio eu barn mewn ffyrdd creadigol er mwyn achosi newid cymdeithasol. Mae dros 300 Aelod Senedd Ieuenctid sy’n cael eu hethol gan eu cyfoedion mewn etholiadau ieuenctid trwy’r DU. Caiff unrhyw berson ifanc o 11 i 18 oed sefyll neu bleidleisio. Ar ôl cael eu hethol, bydd yr Aelodau Senedd Ieuenctid yn trefnu digwyddiadau a phrojectau, cynnal ymgyrchoedd a dylanwadu ar y rhai sy’n gwneud penderfyniadau ynghylch materion sydd bwysicaf i bobl ifanc.

Pleidlais eleni.

Roedd ffurf newydd wahanol iawn i’r blynyddoedd cynt eleni. Bu 3 pleidlais ar y papur pleidleisio: 1 ar gyfer 5 testun trwy’r DU; 1 ar gyfer 5 testun datganoledig a lle i nodi testun lleol. Yr Aelodau Senedd Ieuenctid a benderfynodd y dewisiadau ar y papur pleidleisio mewn Cynhadledd Flynyddol ym mis Awst.
