I can deal with that question, convener.
I think that members of the committee have the Electoral Management Board for Scotland’s submission, in which we highlighted the changes that have been made since we engaged with civil servants on the drafting of the order. We were very grateful for the opportunity to be involved at that early stage, and we very much welcome the fact that our discussions led to some of the changes.
I will highlight the main changes that relate to our agreement that we should put the interests of the voter first.
There is the ability to issue postal votes earlier than was previously allowed for the last time we had the polls, and the ability to replace lost postal vote packs earlier than was previously the case. We will be given the power to give postal voters who have not properly completed a postal voting statement notice of that so that they can avoid making the same mistakes in future and losing their vote at any other election.
There is the specific requirement in relation to voters being able to join a queue, if there is such a thing, in a polling station at 10 pm, and another change relates to commonly used names. That issue caused some of us quite a lot of concern in the previous general election, but it has been resolved in the order.
A specific issue that has engaged me in the past is the employment of staff who may have been associated with a particular candidate or campaign. The other change, which relates to the electronic submission of notices, is relatively minor. Again, we welcome that.
We are comfortable with all those changes and, indeed, welcome their having been taken on board.
