Can you hold on just one second here? There are a couple of notes I want to follow up on.
I was just confirming something with staff.
Essentially, what this does is allow electors to engage in the process by allowing them to change information. Presently the case is that you have this being done essentially through income tax forms, or through cross-tabulation of data with drivers' records. What this would do is simply allow electors to change information once they've moved into a new residence.
So it allows them to get engaged. Presently we have what I call a passive system. We talked a little bit about this at committee. This is simply to allow electors themselves to do it. It's simply allowing people to help out in the process—a little citizen engagement, if you will—and the addition of paragraphs (e) and (f) would add to that. It's simple, just a matter of allowing citizens to help out and to improve the accuracy of the list as a result.
