That's a very rich question. I don't know that I'll be able to answer all of it in the time allowed.
There was double the number of international voters. There was a high interest in this election. However, not being a fixed-date election, more than half of those electors applied during the election period. What you see if you divide the calendar for the election into four blocks.... The first block is right off at the issuance of the writs. Those who are already registered are sent a kit. There the return rate is very high. Then there's the first third of people who apply—time-wise the first third—and the return rate is good. However, as you progress in the calendar, it dramatically declines. Those who apply in the last segment have, if I'm not mistaken, an 8% return rate.
