We're not doing this from a perspective of polling or focus groups. It isn't our intention to do any of that. We think there's adequate study and research out there demonstrating that there are tangible benefits to be had in terms of increasing voter turnout. That's simply our objective, to find a way to increase voter participation because we think it has a positive ripple-on effect through society, and it increases and enhances the legitimacy of our political institutions, it leads to other forms of civic engagement and involvement, which are good for communities, and if we get people in the habit of voting by making it easier for them, we're more likely to continue to in the future.
