The federal government has introduced two related bills, the Electoral and Referendum (Maintaining Address) Bill and the Electoral and Referendum (Protecting Elector Participation) Bill, which seek to introduce direct enrolment systems for federal elections. The bills are now at second reading stage. The Audit’s submission to the inquiry into the first of the bills by the Joint Selection Committee on Electoral Matters is available here, and the committee’s report will shortly be published here. The committee’s inquiry into the Electoral and Referendum (Protecting Elector Participation) Bill is under way.
