Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
As published
5 Extraordinary general elections
(1) The Presiding Officer must propose a day for the holding of a poll at an extraordinary general election if subsection (2) or (3) applies.
(2) This subsection applies if—
(a) the Senedd resolves that it should be dissolved, and
(b) the resolution of the Senedd is passed on a vote in which the number of Members of the Senedd voting in favour of it is not less than two-thirds of the total number of Senedd seats.
(3) This subsection applies if any period during which the Senedd is required under section 47 to nominate a Member of the Senedd for appointment as the First Minister ends without such a nomination being made.
(4) If the Presiding Officer proposes a day under subsection (1), Her Majesty may by proclamation under the Welsh Seal—
(a) dissolve the Senedd and require an extraordinary general election to be held,
(b) require the poll at the election to be held on the day proposed, and
(c) require the Senedd to meet within the period of fourteen days beginning immediately after the day of the poll.
(5) If a poll is held under this section within the period of six months ending with the day on which the poll at the next ordinary general election would be held (disregarding section 4), that ordinary general election is not to be held.
(6) But subsection (5) does not affect the year in which the subsequent ordinary general election is to be held.
(7) In calculating any period of days for the purposes of subsection (4)(c), the following days are to be disregarded—
(a) Saturday and Sunday,
(b) Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Good Friday,
(c) any day which is a bank holiday in Wales under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 (c. 80), and
(d) any day appointed for public thanksgiving or mourning.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
