As vote-counting continues from Saturday's (july 2) federal election, the Australian Electoral Commission is facing criticism over the handling of votes in some seats.


Allegedly, votes have been stored incorrectly, some booths did not provide absentee ballot papers, and some people were marked off electoral rolls as voting when they could not.

 

The claims come from three different states.
