	Electoral Fraud is OK - Victorian Electoral Commission.
		That certainly seems to be the case with the saga of electoral fraud and vote-rigging in the Frankston East by-election.
		Signed by the Electoral Commissioner C. Barry, the letter effectively says that electoral fraud is within the law as far as the VEC is concerned.
		In plain English it means that electoral fraud as perpetrated by the major parties is allowable and therefore serves to perpetuate the undemocratic two-party rule in Australia.

	Melbourne City Council - holding them to account (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Rob Hulls, Victoria's Attorney General and Minister responsible for the Victorian Electoral Commission and the Freedom of Information Act, stated in his annual FOI report: "The existence of the FOI Act should not mean that the formal process provided under it is the only means of obtaining access to documents or information of an agency.
		Steve Tully and the VEC had poorly managed the election and the VEC made a serious error in the data-entry of the ballot papers by over inflating the result of the election and the Liberal Party vote by 6,000 votes.
		The VEC still has not provided the details of the election results and electoral commission continues to refuse to make the details of the election results public.

		Current electoral laws and procedures are based on the assumptions that the voter can see the paper to fill it in; manipulate the tools required to complete the paper; and understand the information presented on it.
		An important feature of the plan was that the Commission entered into a partnership with the Vision Australia Foundation to establish four special early voting centres at the Foundation’s premises for people to cast a vote using specialised tools such as enhanced lighting, closed circuit television for large print magnification and Braille ballot paper templates.
		The success of the ACT and Victorian trials demonstrates that a viable strategy in future elections would be to supplement conventional polling places with a limited number of strategically located ‘Voting Superstores’ providing a comprehensive range of options, including electronically assisted voting.

	The Poll Bludger
		Tully and the VEC have an obligation to ensure that the election process is open and transparent and that information is readily available and not hidden from view.
		If I thought the VEC had acted in good faith then I would be so concerned about their mistakes but as I have said this issues has been raised time and time again.
		With this election the VEC decided to undertake the preliminary distribution which meant that the ballot papers were in some sort of order and as such a little more easier to scrutinise.

	Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Website: Disability Rights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission has received a complaint under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 alleging discrimination by the State Electoral Commission in that the Local Government elections conducted in NSW in 1999 were not accessible, or not equally accessible to many people with disabilities.
		Further, the Disability Discrimination Act makes discrimination unlawful regarding the administration of Commonwealth laws and programs (section 29), and whilst this may not be relevant for the conduct of local government elections it may be relevant for the conduct of commonwealth elections and referenda.
		Whilst this complaint relates to a NSW Local Government election (administered by the State Electoral Commission) the inquiry will also examine the conduct of NSW State Government elections (also administered by the State Electoral Commission) and Commonwealth elections (administered by the Australian Electoral Commission).
