Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I move amendment 102, tabled in my name, and wish to speak to those other amendments, which I've also tabled. If I can just say as well that I will be supporting David Melding's amendments in this group, all of which seek to impose a duty on secondary schools to promote awareness of elections for 16 and 17-year-olds. As regardless as to whether my amendments proceed, I still think that that's a very sensible thing to do. The amendment tabled in the name of the Llywydd, as I understand, is a rather technical amendment, so I will also be supporting that particular amendment too.

So, the amendments tabled in this group in my name seek to remove section 10 of the Bill, which looks to extend the voting franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds here in Wales. And the other amendments, in addition to amendment 102, are consequential, effectively, on that particular amendment.

The right to vote is one of the most important privileges afforded in any democracy, and here in Wales the vote has provided men and women with real power, giving them the ability to topple Governments, oust unpopular politicians, establish new parliaments, and decide our fortunes with regard to EU membership. Our democracy works, and the regular cycle of elections ensures that the view of voters must be listened to, most of the time, by those who represent them. And, of course, if we don't listen to them as elected representatives, then the fortunes of elected representatives can face significant consequences as a result.

Voter turnout, as a percentage of all voters, is likely to fall if more young people are registered to vote. Why do I say that? Well, that's because we know that those who are eligible to vote aged between 18 and 25 are the least likely age group to actually cast their votes in an election. And I haven't—[Interruption.] Yes, absolutely.
