I do not continue.

No. I have no more on that section.

What are the practical reasons for that from your perspective, or is it simply a matter of cost? For example, we would not be able to have a by-election in the Scottish Parliament six months before a general election.

I have a question about e-counting. Malcolm Burr’s submission says that six weeks is too short a period to reset the e-count—is that right?

On the issue of the declaration that a candidate makes on presenting themselves as such, they would not currently have to say—this would not be part of the test, as it were—that they were qualified. It would be a matter of their self-identifying as someone who was in the United Kingdom on limited leave to remain—is that correct?

The number of elections and electoral events has also created tension; they included UK general elections and, for example, the EU membership referendum. Does that make the past 13 years different from the average period of work for the board?

You have described the relationship with the City of Edinburgh Council a little bit more fully. The secretariat sits within the council’s head count and four fifths of the cost is paid by the Scottish Government—is that correct?

Kick you out.

Where does the balance of the work lie—with the EMB or with the Scottish Government?

I might have perjured myself, because I think that I continue the questions now, do I not?
