That probably gives me about a minute and a half.
There are multiple factors that shape voter turnout. Simplified voter registration procedures are important. The literature says that flexible deadlines are important.
In that case, I think that looking seriously at proxy voting, but also electronic voting, in the ways that we've heard about earlier from other witnesses, is really important.
The other thing that's been mentioned is overseas constituencies. Generally speaking, if you have an overseas constituency, then turnout is probably going to be higher. It gives a focus or a container, if you like, for overseas voters to go into. It gives a meaningful contest. You have candidates who actually compete for that. Therefore, there is an incentive for them to reach out and engage.
Some things are going to be very difficult to change. They might be related to people's connections with the country. If someone has recently left Canada, it's very likely that they'll want to vote. If they have not lived there for a long time, it's less likely that they'll want to vote.
The other thing is the role of important focusing events. In the U.K., for example, we had a lot more interest in overseas voting when we had the Brexit referendum. The registrations increased. When there are important international focusing events, I think the way that politicians can campaign is important.
Of all these things that the committee can probably recommend, I would say that a single overseas constituency could make a big difference, and looking at proxy voting and Internet voting.
