It is because the register of electors will be used to select the 66 citizens. The register of electors must be looked at in the future. I suggest the Minister must ensure that we have a better way of compiling the register. Citizens who are entitled to be on register, but are not on it have a justifiable grievance that they cannot be considered for selection as one of the 66 citizens to be chosen. That is an issue. Every citizen in this country has a PPS number and we should use that information for the compilation of the register and look at other ways of checking that it is accurate. The current system is not working.
