I thank the Chair. We are here today discussing pre-legislative scrutiny on the electoral reform Bill 2020. Unfortunately, Senator Cummins seems to think that it is a witch hunt. This is disappointing because we are trying to get more people to engage with the electoral process and to get a more accurate and independent register. I think the majority of people want to achieve that.

I have just a few questions and maybe Mr. Carroll could go into more depth on these. He said that Fine Gael keeps a number of registers nationally, but that they are not integrated. Could he outline the registers it keeps and where it keeps them?
