Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House the inability of citizens to register and vote electronically. Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to refer the matter to the Legal, Constitutional and Administrative Review Committee asking it to investigate ways to allow Queenslanders to vote electronically. Your petitioners believe that this would improve access to democracy for rural and regional Queenslanders and people with disabilities.
