Good morning—oh, good afternoon. We've heard a lot about capacity already, so I won't dwell too much on it, but it's fundamental for us to get underneath the capacity question, really. So, I would like to know how the Government is preparing to meet that…

Rheoliadau Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl (Cofrestru Etholiadol heb Geisiadau) (Diwygio Etholiadol) (Cymru) 2026: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
I suppose I have some anxieties that there'll be some authorities that—. I'm thinking of my old authority, Monmouthshire: a very small election team, and you couldn't pick a worse set of elections to get it prepared for. If it was preparing for a Senedd…

Some of the points—. I'll raise this question, and you may all want to come in on it and I'll be done then. Some of the issues that have been raised—. As I touched on earlier, there were some safeguarding issues. Certainly, One Voice Wales could see the…

Rheoliadau Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl (Cofrestru Etholiadol heb Geisiadau) (Diwygio Etholiadol) (Cymru) 2026: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
I'm conscious that a 28-day period might need to be put in place so that we can get ahead with this election, but if that wasn't in the way, is a 28-day period still right?

Rheoliadau Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl (Cofrestru Etholiadol heb Geisiadau) (Diwygio Etholiadol) (Cymru) 2026: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
So, if I could explore briefly a couple of points around the notification period to opt out, because you'll know that, originally, the pilots were moving forward with a 60-day opt-out. There have been various recommendations to go to a 28-day opt-out, and…

Thanks for that. There'll be several other areas drawn out later on that refer to many of the points you've raised. If I could go on—. Should I go on, Chair, to notification periods, or does somebody else want to come in?

Rheoliadau Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl (Cofrestru Etholiadol heb Geisiadau) (Diwygio Etholiadol) (Cymru) 2026: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Those are very clear lived challenges that you managed to get around. Do you believe that, if that was rolled out all over, there are answers to those challenges, which can make this truly deliverable? Or would we have a half-cocked process that couldn't…

Thanks for that. And I just want to explore some of those, because I think there are several bodies related to the whole election process who can acknowledge that a reduction in that time frame might be advantageous in some ways, but then there are serious…
