South Wales East (Senedd electoral region)

South Wales East was an electoral region of the Senedd, consisting of eight constituencies. The region elected 12 members, eight directly elected constituency members and four additional members. The electoral region was first used in 1999, when the National Assembly for Wales was created.

County boundaries

The region covered the whole of the preserved county of Gwent and part of the preserved county of Mid Glamorgan. The rest of Mid Glamorgan was mostly within the South Wales Central electoral region and partly within the South Wales West region. ==Electoral region profile==

The region was one of contrasts; it included the city of Newport, along with the town of Caerphilly. It also took in the working-class former iron town of Merthyr Tydfil, one of the most deprived towns in the UK, but also rural Monmouthshire, one of the most affluent parts of Wales. ==Constituencies==
