Commenting on the news that The Welsh Government are introducing a new bill which paves the way for automatic voter registration in future Welsh elections. Welsh Conservatives Shadow Constitution Minister Darren Millar MS, said:
“It is not clear why these changes are necessary. Registering to vote is already simple and millions of people in Wales manage to do so every year without any issue whatsoever.
"Making changes to the voter registration system which apply only to some elections and not others will also cause unnecessary confusion.
“Voting is a right, not an obligation, so voters must also have the choice to opt-out of any automatic registration process."
