Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Art O'Leary:

Indeed. It is eye-opening. We need to do much more. There may be something we can do on the technology side to speed up the counting process. There is one other country that has the same electoral system as us for national elections, namely Malta. Malta has just introduced electronic counting. It scans all the ballot papers and counts electronically. We will have a close look at that. It is just one of those things we will explore. Some of the challenges we face electorally are shared ones that every electoral management body in the world faces. The solutions will not be found just here; they will be found among people beyond our shores.
