Will the Electoral Commission review the electoral changes passed in December 2025 and their impact, if so, when?

Answer

The Electoral Commission (the Commission) must report on the administration of the general election in accordance with the requirements of section 8 of the Electoral Act 1993, which includes a review of the services provided to electors to facilitate voting, and enrolment and voting statistics. I am advised until that reporting is completed the Commission will continue to release enrolment statistics during and after the election period. The statistics released after the election and will include a breakdown of the ordinary and special votes disallowed by electorate, and analysis showing the reasons why special votes have been disallowed which may indicate impacts of electoral changes.
