Ms Billie Sparks:

I thank Deputy Gould for the question. It is something we take very seriously, and I agree with the previous speaker, Ms McMahon, that the electoral register needs serious reform and needs to be examined and looked through again. I believe that is something the electoral commission would be tasked with, along with constituency reviews and encouraging voting. The previous speaker spoke about education and the inclusion from a very young age in school information on how to vote and how our political system works. Many schools do this with their own elections internally with young children and that is something that needs to continue in the older years as well. It is achieved through education and ensuring the electoral commission is tasked, empowered and resourced to carry out the function of encouraging voting.
