CYFARWYDDIADAU I'R PLEIDLEISIWR
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE VOTER

1. You must sign (or mark) this declaration of identity in the presence of a person known to you. (You are required to do this even if you have already signed (or marked) a similar declaration of identity in respect of another election or referendum to be held on the same day.) The person known to you should then sign (or mark) this declaration as a witness, and his or her name and address must be added. Without this the declaration will be invalid.	1. Mae'n rhaid i chi lofnodi (neu farcio) y datganiad adnabod hwn ym mhresenoldeb person sy'n eich adnabod. (Mae'n ofynnol i chi wneud hyn hyd yn oed os ydych eisoes wedi llofnodi (neu farcio) datganiad adnabod tebyg yng nghyswllt etholiad neu refferendwm arall a gynhelir ar yr un diwrnod.) Yna dylai'r person sy'n eich adnabod lofnodi (neu farcio) y datganiad fel tyst, a rhaid ychwanegu ei enw a'i gyfeiriad ef neu hi. Heb hyn bydd y datganiad yn annilys.
2. Mark a cross (X) to the right of the name of the candidate of your choice. Vote for no more than [ ] candidates.	2. Rhowch groes (X) i'r dde o enw'r ymgeisydd o'ch dewis. Peidiwch â phleidleisio i ddim mwy na [ ] o ymgeiswyr.
3. Mark your vote secretly. If you cannot vote without assistance, the person assisting you must not disclose how you have voted.	3. Marciwch eich pleidlais yn gyfrinachol. Os na fedrwch chi bleidleisio heb gymorth, rhaid i'r person sy'n eich cynorthwyo beidio datgelu sut y gwnaethoch bleidleisio.
4. Put no other mark on the ballot papers, or your vote may not be counted.	4. Peidiwch â rhoi unrhyw farc arall ar y papurau pleidleisio, neu efallai na fydd eich pleidlais yn cael ei chyfrif.
5. Different colours are used for the ballot papers for each election [and referendum*]. Each ballot paper has its own ballot paper envelope (the smaller envelope marked "A"), declaration of identity and covering envelope (the larger envelope marked "B"). The covering envelope and declaration of identity for each ballot paper are those which refer to the colour of that ballot paper. It is important that you use the correct envelopes and declaration of identity, otherwise your vote may not be counted. You may find it helpful to sort the documents into separate sets, each consisting of a ballot paper, ballot paper envelope, declaration of identity and covering envelope. Then proceed as follows:	5. Defnyddir lliwiau gwahanol ar gyfer papurau pleidleisio pob etholiad [a refferendwm*]. Mae gan bob papur pleidleisio ei amlen ei hun (yr amlen leiaf wedi ei nodi ag "A"), datganiad adnabod ac amlen i'r cyfan (yr amlen fwyaf wedi ei nodi â"B"). Yr amlen a'r datganiad adnabod ar gyfer pob papur pleidleisio yw'r rhai sy'n cyfeirio at liw y papur pleidleisio hwnnw. Mae'n bwysig i chi ddefnyddio'r amlenni a'r datganiad adnabod cywir, neu efallai na fydd eich pleidlais yn cael ei chyfrif. Efallai y bydd o gymorth i chi ddosbarthu'r dogfennau i setiau gwahanol, pob un yn cynnwys papur pleidleisio, amlen papur pleidleisio, datganiad adnabod ac amlen i'r cyfan. Yna ewch ati fel hyn:
(a) place each ballot paper in the correct smaller envelope and seal it; (b) put that envelope, together with the correct declaration of identity, in the correct covering envelope and seal it; (c) return the covering envelopes without delay. Ballot papers must be received by the returning officer not later than the close of the poll.	(a) rhowch bob papur pleidleisio yn yr amlen fechan gywir a'i selio; (b) rhowch yr amlen, ynghyd â'r datganiad adnabod cywir, yn yr amlen briodol a'i selio; (c) dychwelwch yr amlenni yn ddi-oed. Rhaid i'r papurau pleidleisio gael eu derbyn gan y swyddog canlyniadau ddim hwyrach na diwedd y bleidlais.
*Alternatively, they may be returned to any of the following polling stations on polling day: *[insert polling station(s) ] or *Alternatively they may be returned to any polling station in the following area: *[specify area] If you receive more than one ballot paper relating to the same election or referendum, remember that it is illegal to vote more than once (otherwise than as proxy) at the same election or the same referendum.

ETHOLIAD LLYWODRAETH LEOL
LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION

This card is for information only. You can vote without it, but it will save time if you take it to the polling station and show it to the clerk there.	Er gwybodaeth yn unig y mae'r cerdyn hwn. Gallwch bleidleisio hebddo, ond bydd yn arbed amser os ewch ag ef i'r orsaf bleidleisio a'i ddangos i'r clerc yno
When you go to the polling station, tell the clerk your name and address, as shown on the front of the card. The presiding officer will give you a ballot paper; see that he stamps the official mark on it before he gives it to you.	Pan ewch i'r orsaf bleidleisio, dywedwch eich enw a'ch cyfeiriad wrth y clerc, a dangos tu blaen y cerdyn. Bydd y swyddog llywyddu yn rhoi papur pleidleisio i chi; gofalwch ei fod yn rhoi'r marc swyddogol arno cyn ei roi i chi.
Go to one of the compartments. Mark a cross (X) in the box on the right hand side of the ballot paper opposite the name(s) of the candidate(s) you are voting for.	Ewch i un o'r bythau. Rhowch groes (X) yn y blwch ar ochr dde'r papur pleidleisio gyferbyn ag enw(au) yr ymgeisydd(wyr) yr ydych yn pleidleisio iddo/iddynt.
Fold the ballot paper in two. Show the official mark to the presiding officer, but do not let anyone see your vote. Put the ballot paper in the ballot box and leave the polling station.	Plygwch eich papur pleidleisio yn ddau. Dangoswch y marc swyddogol i'r swyddog llywyddu, ond peidiwch â gadael i unrhyw un weld eich pleidlais. Rhowch y papur pleidleisio yn y blwch pleidleisiau a gadewch yr orsaf bleidleisio.
The ballot paper tells you how many candidates you may vote for. Do not vote for more than that number. Put no other mark on the ballot paper, or your vote may not be counted.	Mae'r papur pleidleisio yn dweud i faint o ymgeiswyr y cewch chi bleidleisio iddynt. Peidiwch â phleidleisio i fwy na'r nifer hwnnw. Peidiwch â rhoi unrhyw farc arall ar y papur pleidleisio, neu efallai na fydd eich pleidlais yn cael ei chyfrif.
If by mistake you spoil a ballot paper, show it to the presiding officer and ask for another one.	Os byddwch, trwy gamgymeriad, yn difetha eich papur pleidleisio, dangoswch y papur i'r swyddog llywyddu a gofyn am un arall.
If you have appointed a proxy to vote in person for you, you may nevertheless vote at this election if you do so before your proxy has voted on your behalf.	Os byddwch wedi penodi dirprwy i bleidleisio yn bersonol ar eich rhan, fe allwch bleidleisio yn yr etholiad hwn os gwnewch hynny cyn i'r dirprwy bleidleisio ar eich rhan.
If you have been granted a postal vote, you will not be entitled to vote in person at this election, so please ignore this poll card.	Os rhoddwyd pleidlais trwy'r post i chi, ni fydd gennych hawl i bleidleisio'n bersonol yn yr etholiad hwn, felly anwybyddwch y cerdyn hwn os gwelwch yn dda.

The elector named below whose proxy you are is entitled to vote at the polling station -	Mae gan yr etholwr a enwir isod, yr ydych chi'n ddirprwy iddo/iddi, hawl i bleidleisio yn yr orsaf bleidleisio -
To vote as proxy you must go to that polling station. Tell the clerk that you wish to vote as proxy; give the name and qualifying address of the elector, as follows: -	Er mwyn pleidleisio fel dirprwy rhaid i chi fynd i'r orsaf bleidleisio honno. Dywedwch wrth y clerc eich bod yn dymuno pleidleisio fel dirprwy; rhowch enw a chyfeiriad yr etholwr, fel a ganlyn: -
Number on Register	Rhif ar y Gofrestr
Name	Enw
Address	Cyfeiriad
The presiding officer will give you the elector's ballot paper. The method of voting as proxy is the same as for casting your own vote.	Bydd y swyddog llywyddu yn rhoi papur pleidleisio'r etholwr i chi. Mae'r dull o bleidleisio fel dirprwy yr un ag ydyw ar gyfer bwrw eich pleidlais eich hun.
It is an offence to vote as proxy for some other person if you know that that person is subject to a legal incapacity to vote, e.g. if that person has been convicted and is detained in a penal institution in pursuance of his sentence. It is also an offence to vote at this election for more than two persons of whom you are not the husband, wife, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, child or grandchild.	Mae'n drosedd pleidleisio fel dirprwy i ryw berson arall os gwyddoch nad oes gan y person hwnnw hawl cyfreithiol i bleidleisio, e.e. os yw'r person wedi ei ddyfarnu'n euog a'i gadw mewn sefydliad cosbol yn unol â'i ddedfryd/dedfryd. Mae hefyd yn drosedd pleidleisio yn yr etholiad hwn dros fwy na dau berson os nad ydych yn r, gwraig, rhiant, taid neu nain, brawd, chwaer, plentyn neu yr/wyres iddynt.
The person who appointed you as proxy may himself vote in person at this election if he is able, and wishes, to do so and if he votes before you vote on his behalf.	Gall y person a'ch penododd chi yn ddirprwy bleidleisio ei hun yn yr etholiad hwn os yw'n medru, ac yn dymuno gwneud hynny ac os bydd yn pleidleisio cyn i chi bleidleisio ar ei ran/rhan.
