Mr. Don Desserud (Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Prince Edward Island, As an Individual) at the Electoral Reform Committee

Thank you very much.

I should start by saying that I may be here under false pretenses, because I'm going to speak to you about mandatory voting. I do not claim to be an expert on mandatory voting. I am an expert on Senate reform and the historical origins of its residence requirement, and I can speak about that at great length if you'd like.
