Federal Govenment Joint Standing Commitee on Electoral Matters

Federal Parliament's Electoral Matters Committee has commenced an inquiry into the conduct of the 2010 federal election.

“Australia’s electoral system ranks among the world’s best. However, there is always room for improvement. The 2010 federal election has made apparent a number of issues that need examination, including existing provisions that need further scrutiny because of their capacity to disenfranchise legitimate voters,” said Committee Chair Daryl Melham.

“The practice of reviewing each federal election started in 1983 and provides Australians with an important opportunity to express their views and involve themselves in the scrutiny and improvement of our electoral system,” said Mr Melham.

Members of the public and interested groups are invited to make submissions in writing to the Committee until Wednesday, 16 February 2011
