On Wednesday, the senate retained the provision for electronic transmission of election results as contained in the Electoral Act 2022.
During the consideration of the Electoral Act (Amendment) bill, the red chamber also rejected proposals for real-time results transmission and a 10-year ban for vote buyers, opting instead to maintain existing sanctions of fines or jail terms.
