Ultimately, the problem I see in the proposal to hold two votes... Because there's no denying the facts: these are two consecutive regular polling days, even though the rules would not be entirely the same. Wouldn't it simply be preferable to add a fourth advance polling day to the three already existing? We currently have one on Friday, another on Saturday and a third on Monday. We could add a day, the Thursday or Friday preceding the election, for example, with polling stations grouped together in a few places. That would demonstrate parliamentarians' will to promote voter turnout at a reasonable cost and would have quite similar effects to what the $34 million would produce.
I suggest the idea to you; you can comment on it if you wish.
