Following on from that, just making the money available isn't necessarily—. And I think it's what you were driving at there, especially having worked with candidates with disabilities, wheelchair users, that sort of element. The financial assistance is more…

But a service to help with the translation—that's what I meant.

Just briefly. You said it's a bilingual site. Will the onus be on the candidates to translate or will there be an automatic translation system?

Okay. Thank you very much. And, finally from me, has the Government given any consideration to how many of these pilots may be introduced after the Bill has been given Royal Assent, and could that place a burden on local authorities? And we'll probably go…

And with voting for a pilot in the Senedd, that would be a simple majority.

If I'm reading it correctly, Ministers would have to have due regard if a local authority gave an objection to a pilot. So, in practice, what would happen at that point? So, if the Welsh Ministers came up with a proposal for a pilot, the local authority said…

Okay. And the pilots that should be jointly—. The Electoral Commission would jointly propose pilots with local authorities. It also requires the Electoral Commission to evaluate the pamphlets. How would the independence of the Electoral Commission be…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Just looking more at the piloting powers that this Bill allows for, can you explain why the period for the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru to evaluate the pilot proposals is six weeks? Are you content that it's sufficient time?

You mentioned the 45 days there. Just correct me if I'm wrong. You'd add somebody to the register, they've got 45 days to say they don't want to be on the register or be anonymised. During that 45 days, is that published anywhere?

With regard to the secondary legislation that will be introduced as it comes along, what procedures would be used for that? Would it be the negative procedure or the affirmative or superaffirmative? What do you envisage happening with those?

Slightly circling back a little bit to the scrutiny element, the Electoral Commission is currently scrutinised by the Llywydd's Committee when it comes here, and I think that's named in legislation, I believe. Is that your intention with this, to have a named…

It's just to see what can be done to help those people who've been negatively affected, and what scope there is to address some of that.

Finally from me, if I can, have you come across any businesses or organisations that have changed the way they interact with your service users for the better? So, they've realised that it's negatively affecting this cohort of people by going cashless, and…

It's interesting, and especially the bit that you said that we inherit it from our parents—our understanding. I'm just wondering, over time, as parents are more likely just to be using cards or phones or watches, are we going to see that trend develop? But I…

Diolch. I just want to look at it from a slightly different angle, and not one I necessarily agree with, but if we assume that society's going towards cashless, from your organisation's point of view, and you're obviously helping people to manage their…
