Electoral Arrangements to Protect Democracy and Ballot Integrity: Discussion
3:00 pm
Mr. Art O'Leary:
No, these are just new registrations. There were other people, when we ran the check the register campaign, who we asked to confirm their details on the register were correct. In the previous four years, they may have moved address or whatever. There was a huge change here and we should not let the session go by without congratulating the franchise teams in each of the local authorities. They got through a huge number of new registrations as well and they worked late nights and weekends to make sure everybody who applied managed to get on the register in advance of the election date.
