Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918

A list of applications for postal votes for a Division must be available for public inspection at the office of the DRO for the Division.

The list must:

be available during ordinary office hours from and including the third day after polling day until the election can no longer be questioned; and

set out, for each applicant:

the applicant’s full name; and

except in the case of an applicant whose address has been excluded from the Roll under section 104—the address of the applicant; and

such other particulars (if any) as the Electoral Commissioner determines.

The Electoral Commissioner must not, for the purposes of subparagraph (2)(b)(iii), determine any particulars relating to whether an applicant is a designated elector.

The list may be kept in electronic or other form.

A right of inspection under this section does not include the right to copy or record by electronic means the list of applications (in whole or in part).

If the Electoral Commissioner determines particulars under subparagraph (2)(b)(iii) in writing, the instrument is not a legislative instrument.
