General Scheme of Electoral Reform Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Liz Carolan:
I am not qualified to talk about who should be on the commission. However, I note the United Kingdom Electoral Commission has a board at the top as well as a staff of 145. We should be looking at the new commission as a body with accountability at the top, while ensuring it is fully staffed and funded. That is important, as are the crucial considerations about the accountability structure at the top.
