Thank you for that question and for referencing that important piece of work that highlights something that many of us probably know from our own political work in our constituencies. It sounds like an interesting piece of work; it's one that I'll ask my officials to look at as we look to prepare our own communications and promotional work in preparing for the elections next year. As I said in my opening response, there are particular areas that we are keen to prioritise. One, of course, is votes at 16 and 17, a new component to our electorate, but also seeking to work with partners who are involved with working with people from communities that feel particularly estranged from the democratic process. We need to work to ensure that those people are particularly informed and engaged and empowered to use their democratic vote next year.
