Thank you very much.
Thank you for agreeing to come before this committee.
I find the experience--the contrast between the 2005 referendum and the 2009 referendum, and the differences in the results--quite interesting, including the fact that in 2009 there was an actual electoral map created so that voters were able to see, should the single transferable vote exist, what the difference would be between the existing first past the post system and the new system.
Have any studies been conducted to determine whether or not the fact that voters had an actual visual understanding of the differences had any impact on voter support of the single transferable vote system?
