I was interested to note that many of the submitters took the time to raise other concerns and offer other suggestions for electoral reform. This includes 23 submitters in support of removing the blanket ban on prisoner voting. Now, although that issue could not be addressed in this bill, as I announced late last year this Government will be bringing forward a further bill shortly which will restore voting rights to people sentenced to less than three years in prison. As with the changes in this bill, we are committed to helping people engage with the democratic process as easily as possible.
