Graeme Edgeler: Electoral law expert on the delay in recieving EasyVote packs

The Electoral Commission is being defended this morning.\xa0

About 1.4 million voters haven't received their EasyVote packs three days into the 13-day voting period.\xa0

Electoral law expert Graeme Edgeler says the thing that delays them is that the cards have party lists and the names of local candidates. \xa0

He told Mike Hosking that this delay is the norm, and it would be almost impossible to get them out on time. \xa0

Edgeler says it's difficult for them because that information was only available mid-last month. \xa0

He adds mail is not as fast as it used to be.\xa0
