The number of votes for each Upper-house Region does not tally , Whilst we understand that the upper-house and lower-house votes are not in sync the discrepancy with the number of ordinary 'polling place' votes is significant and should be the same for the both houses. There are significant differences that indicate that votes may have either been double counted, not yet included in the count or worst still missing.
Each voter in the Victorian election is entitled to two ballot papers one for the Legislative Assembly and one for the Legislative Council in theory there should be the same number of total votes for each region (Upper and lower house)
Scrutineers have requested copies of the VEC reconciliation report listing the number of ballot papers issues and recorded as being received back. However the VEC have failed to provide the requested information to date.
Based on the information available there is no way of knowing what is outstanding. Votes could go missing and we would not know.
A simple comparison with the Lower- house and the Upper-house is all we can go by until the VEC provides copies of the reconciliation report that they have said they will produce. This report should have been provided on Sunday when the Voting centres issued their declaration returns, Pre-poll should have been reported on the Saturday and Absentee should have been known and tabulated on Saturday night. The only unknown is the number of postal votes in the mail. ( The should know how many were issued and how many received back to date). None of this information is readily available on the VEC web site.
The VEC web site is reporting that all the ordinary votes cast n polling day have been counted yet there are huge decrepancies in the tallied results for ordinary votes.
The VEC is underging a recheck and they have withdrawn from publication the results of those districts being recheked.
We are clsoly monitoring the data publihsed so we can try and identify what changes are made during the count. Much more can and should be done to ensure thatb the process is open and tranparent. The publication of the reconsillationb report would go a long way to retsoring public confidence in the counting process, Confidence that was shattered back in 2006 which was undermined by the extent of stuff-ups in the vote counting where information was wrongly entered into the computer and votes went missing between Count A and Count B, data-files were deleted and backup copies not made all of which give rise for ongoing concern.
