I worked as a product manager on the citizen facing services for register to vote. We explored how we could expand the service to support pre-registration at 14 and also the automatic registration. Still some challenges to solve but great they are changing the Open register to opt-in rather than opt-out.
If this bill gets passed my son (now 13) would be able to vote in the next GE (likely around 2028/29).

@npub1eae…z64n hello, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your Shinhanga posts. I find them all beautiful and it really brightens the moment to see them.
🙏

I feel sorry for Ofsted in this matter. They are trying to make things better for parents by giving more nuance and detail, yet they get complaints it's too complex.
Yes, judging a school is complex. Some institutions can be great at some things, yet poor at others. Can that all be munged together into one word. I don't think so.
I wonder how much user testing they did with their new scales? I would expect some.
