Senator Glenn Lazarus has posted an online complaint form to deal with the hundreds of people who say they were unable to vote at the federal election because of a ballot paper shortage.
Mr Lazarus says voters from "all over Australia" have contacted him and, in some instances, claimed they were marked off the electoral roll on Saturday without voting so they could avoid being fined.
He is also pursuing statutory declarations from those affected and they will form part of the official complaint he will soon lodge with the Australian Electoral Commission.
The complaint form is on his Facebook page.
The Senator blames funding cuts by the Coalition government but he also believes the AEC miscalculated the number of absentee ballot papers required at each polling booth during school holidays.
"People have the right to vote and they weren't given that opportunity because there was no bloody ballot papers," Mr Lazarus told AAP.
"They're told to get their name marked off the roll to avoid a fine and then basically told to go home.
"The problem is the government cut the guts out of the AEC ... and it doesn't help being school holidays."
Senator Lazarus, who appears likely to lose his Queensland seat, has even consulted a constitutional lawyer for advice.
AEC spokesman Phil Diak said he was aware some polling booths ran short and had to be restocked but not the specific claims made by the Queensland senator.
"We are looking at any reports and incidents that may come through in this election," he told ABC Radio.
"I'm simply not aware of that one ... and those that have been reported, including by Mr Lazarus, will be looked at as part of a post-election review.
"There was a lot of restocking of ballot papers going on at certain locations. There's a lot of management on the day."
Senator Lazarus may have yet to lodge an official complaint with AEC, but independent candidate Rob Oakeshott has.
Mr Oakeshott failed to be re-elected in the seat of Cowper but his gripe is that voters were unable to lodge absentee votes in the neighbouring seat of Lyne.
According to The Australian, Mr Oakeshott claimed he had received complaints there was a shortage of absentee ballot papers in Lyne.
Mr Diak refused to "hypothesise" about the legality of the election if both Mr Lazarus and Mr Oakeshott's claims were true.
