Dear Australian Electoral Commission,

I understand that someone on twitter posted about how they work at the AEC prepolling centre in Gladstone, and made comments about how they were ripping up forms.

Would it be possible to get a copy of the internal documents related to this tweet, and any others l complaints related to vote tampering, in the 2019 election period?

I’m happy to exclude personal information of members of the public and all email addresses and phone numbers.

If you can process this request under administrative access I would be most appreciated. If not, please consider it a formal FOI request.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Fairless

Australian Electoral Commission
