Automatic voter registration on cards in Wales
There is no date for the proposals to become law - the white paper said ministers want to work with councils to run a series of automatic registration pilots.
Medical student Elliott Hulme, 26, said the current registration process "is fine but there's lots of things to be worrying about when you first come to university and it's an extra form that needs filling out".Niamh Goodwin-Thomas, 24, said registering "is easy" but the easier the process is the better.
"Automatic registration for Senedd and local elections could lead to voters incorrectly assuming they are registered to vote in all elections and cause them to miss out on voting. "At present police and crime commissioner polls can be combined with Senedd and Welsh council elections, and UK parliamentary with council polls. Given the challenges the differences in voting franchise and more would bring, we question whether these combinations should continue."
