Special Minister of State Ben Morton has told a parliamentary committee that nobody will be denied the right to vote under the federal government’s proposal to require people to prove their identity at polling booths. He also that more than 700 people had admitted to voting more than once at the 2019 election, and the Australian Electoral Commission had identified 311 multiple votes before they were counted. However, Labor senator Don Farrell has urged the government to withdraw the voter ID legislation; he also says Labor’s first priority would be to repeal the legislation if it wins the next election.
