Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. It's a pleasure to open this debate today on voter inclusion.
In looking at the health of our society, of course we consider things such as poverty, equality, employment, social well-being, health, culture and language. Our innovative legislation, which is recognised across the world, namely the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, notes the criteria that should be used in making decisions to safeguard and promote the well-being of future generations. But, I would suggest that there is one measure missing, which is the health of our democracy and the democratic well-being of our society.
