STATEMENTS from candidates standing in the South Wales East regional list in next week's Assembly election can now be viewed on this website.

There are 61 candidates in all, representing 12 political parties with one independent.

Four will be elected as Assembly Members through a proportional representation formula called the Additional Member System.

The calculation takes into account the number of total votes polled for a political party and the number of constituency AMs that party has.

Any candidates who have not yet submitted a statement can still do so, by emailing sue.boyce@gwent-wales.co.uk. The statement will then be added to the list.

Statements from candidates standing in Gwent's six constituencies - Newport East, Newport West, Torfaen, Islwyn, Blaenau Gwent and Monmouth - were published in last week's Argus but can still be viewed on this website.
