Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:14 pm on 9 July 2024.
Thank you, Llywydd, I'm delighted to move the Stage 4 motion on the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill. During the course of this Senedd, we have delivered radical and groundbreaking legislation. This Bill is one of the most radical, as it goes to the heart of our democracy, our electoral system. It introduces not only a new management system for Welsh elections, but it also introduces a system of automatic registration of electors. Through digitisation of the electoral register, it opens the door to technological opportunities to make our electoral system more accessible than at any time in our history.
