AI justification

Bending electoral rules undermines democratic integrity and public trust, outweighing marginal gains in participation. | While relaxing registration rules could marginally increase political participation, the risks to electoral integrity, fairness, and public trust outweigh the benefits. The Electoral Commission's role is to uphold the law, not selectively enforce it, which is critical for democratic stability and legitimacy.
