2. Explain any benefits to you, as employer, in obtaining breakdowns of any of the characteristics.

3. Justify the reasons for using the particular voter characteristics used in ballots.

4. Are put to, or created by, the departmental Executive, or the SES responsible for bargaining, and make any reference to any breakdowns of particular voter characteristics, for any purpose.

5. Give notice to employees prior to the ballots to explain what information was to be used in the ballot process.

I exclude from the scope of this request any documents that have already been released through FOI.

Sincerely
