Bob Day's Senate seat recount on Thursday

The Australian Electoral Commission will recount South Australian Senate votes on Thursday to find a replacement for Bob Day.

Electoral officials will recount South Australian Senate votes on Thursday to find a replacement for Bob Day.

The former Family First senator was last week found by the High Court to have been ineligible to stand for parliament because he indirectly benefited from a government lease arrangement on his Adelaide electorate office.

The Australian Electoral Commission's count is expected to elect the second candidate on the South Australian Family First ticket, lawyer Lucy Gichuhi.
