Wales will become the first part of the UK to use automatic voter registration when pilots get underway next month. Jayne Bryant, Wales’ local government secretary, said Carmarthenshire, Gwynedd, Newport and Powys will pilot automatic registration between December 2024 and September 2025. She told the Senedd that the Electoral Commission will evaluate the pilots before a wider roll out, with an estimated 400,000 people set to be added to the register in Wales. Ms Bryant suggested UK Government colleagues will be watching closely, with Labour committed to following Wales’ lead to add millions more people to the electoral roll. Responding to the statement about elections on November 19, the Conservatives’ Darren Millar questioned whether automatic registration will lead to an increase in engagement. He said: “I don't actually think it's going to deliver a significant change in the turnout figures.” But Plaid Cymru’s Peredur Owen Griffiths supported the “simple” measure, arguing it will make participating in Senedd and council elections more accessible for everyone. He said: “It will ensure that people in Wales, particularly young voters and qualifying foreign citizens, remain on the electoral roll without the risk of unknowingly dropping off. It will also help enfranchise groups that are often under-represented and under-engaged in politics.” Mr Millar also raised alarm about the “shocking” state of town and community councils after a report warned challenges threaten the very foundation of local democracy. Ms Bryant said the Welsh Government would consider any necessary reforms of town and community councils following an ongoing Senedd local government committee inquiry. Turning to principal councils, she said ministers gave local authorities the option to choose between first past the post and the single transferable vote (STV) electoral systems in 2021. Owen Griffiths urged the Welsh Government to introduce a proportional system for council elections by 2032 to bring Wales in line with Scotland and Northern Ireland. Mr Griffiths also raised concerns about voter ID requirements introduced by the previous UK Government, saying: “These requirements, rather than protecting democracy, risked undermining it by creating unnecessary barriers for citizens to engage in politics.” Ms Bryant assured Senedd members that the Welsh Government remains committed to not introducing voter ID for devolved elections.GDIN Successfully Supports Establishment of 10 New Joint Ventures in 2024 Alone

Gophers senior linebacker Cody Lindenberg has declined to use his final season of eligibility in 2025 and instead declared for the NFL draft on Friday. Lindenberg was healthy and highly productive in 2024, leading Minnesota with 94 total tackles as well as one sack and one interception in all 12 games. The Anoka native overcame injuries in both 2023 and ’21 to be an all-Big Ten selection this fall. “Every single day for the past five seasons has been a dream come true playing for and in front of you all in the maroon and gold!” Lindenberg wrote on social media. “Representing this university, this program and this state means more to me than anyone will ever know.” With Lindenberg leaving, the need to add a linebacker via the NCAA transfer portal grows more important. They have yet to add a linebacker among the 11 new additions for next season.Immuron CEO, Steven Lydeamore presentation to 21st Virtual Investor Summit Microcap Event
