I do not accept that the amendment would complicate the work of the Referendum Commission. It seeks to go further than what is there at the moment. If we are trying to keep within the spirit of the Bill, the commission should be mandated to go the extra yard. None of its work up to now has sought to properly communicate the message to people with disabilities and ensure that voting is promoted properly and the amendment mandates the commission to do that.
