Personally, I think it would have some effect, but I don't think any one of us is maintaining that this would have a dramatic effect or that it would solve the problem in some sense. It might be an incremental benefit. I don't think it needs to be an either/or situation. The other things that are mentioned about improving registration, improving access, more polling stations, all of these I think would help as well, but since this bill is directed at this particular suggestion, I am simply indicating that I personally think this would have some impact.
