Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I move that this Committee recommends that Elections NWT trial a vote-anywhere model during advance voting in the offices of the returning officers; and further, that any necessary legislative amendments that are required to allow such a model be made. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Yes, thanks, Madam Chair. Yes, I guess I do want to thank the Chief Electoral Officer for returning to the rules and procedures committee with some research that had been requested on a few matters. So I want to publicly thank the CEO for his diligence in doing that work. And this is really about trying to increase and improve voting opportunities for all residents of the NWT so that they could vote anywhere in the Northwest Territories at any of the returning offices. And, you know, I did this federally. I was in Winnipeg visiting one of our kids and got to go and vote there for the federal election in the Northwest Territories. And this will enable more people to vote. And trialing this, I think is a great idea. So I support it. Thank you, Madam Chair.
