The '''2003 National Assembly for Wales election''' was the second [[general election]] to the [[National Assembly for Wales]]. It was held on 1 May 2003. The election was characterised by a resurgence for the [[Welsh Labour|Labour Party]], whilst [[Plaid Cymru]] saw a reduction in support and the number of [[Member of the National Assembly for Wales|Assembly Member]]s they returned. Having won thirty seats, one short of a [[majority government|majority]], Labour chose to govern in [[minority government|minority]] without a coalition partner.<ref>McCallister, L. (2004) ''Steady State or Second Order? The 2003 National Assembly Elections for Wales'', Political Quarterly, p. 65</ref>

This election also saw the return of [[John Marek]] as an independent member of the Assembly. Of the 60 members elected, 30 were male and 30 were female.

It was held on the same day as the [[2003 Scottish Parliament election]] and [[2003 United Kingdom local elections]].
