LabelConst Vote-2003 Welsh Assembly Election
Question text Thinking back to the election for the Welsh Assembly in May 2003, there were two ballot papers. The first, which was mauve or peach, was for an individual Member of the Welsh Assembly - or AM - for your constituency. The second, which was white, was for a party list for your region. Thinking of your 'first' vote for an individual AM for your constituency, which party's candidate did you vote for - or perhaps you didn't vote in that election? IF 'YES': Which party was that?
