I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to create an Electoral Commission; to provide for a national register of electors; and to provide for connected matters.

The purpose of the Bill is to create an electoral commission and transfer to it a range of functions performed by the Minister, the SIPO, the referendum commission, the constituency commission, local authorities and the Clerk of the Dáil. The Bill also sets out to provide for a new national register of electors based on the PPS number as a unique identifier of registered voters.
