Answer

No, I did not raise claims of voter fraud in the election of the Papatoetoe subdivision of the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board with the Electoral Commission, Election Services Ltd, or any other electoral body. The matter had been referred to the New Zealand Police by the Electoral Officer, in accordance with the appropriate processes.
