Electoral Commission under fire over EasyVote packs

From Morning Report, 7:35 am on 5 October 2023

The Electoral Commission has come under fire from both ends of the political spectrum for failing to send out all EasyVote packs before voting opened.

The packs include information cards which help speed up the voting process but are not essential.

Chris Hipkins and Christopher Luxon have both expressed concern over the delay, with a million still yet to be delivered.

The Electoral Commission declined our request for an interview.

Political commentator Grant Duncan spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
