The Electoral Matters Committee is inviting community input on the 2025 federal election at its upcoming hearings.
The Committee Chair, Mr Jerome Laxale MP said, 'Aggressive conduct at polling booths has been the biggest issue in our early submissions. The Committee wants to keep hearing from community members about their experiences participating in the 2025 Federal Election, and to use this information to shape our upcoming hearing.'
The Committee will be holding hearings in Melbourne (12 November 2025) and Bendigo (13 November 2025). As part of these hearing members of the public will be invited to get on the record by making short verbal statements of up to 5 minutes.
'You don't need to have put in a submission to register your interest, you just need to tell us what you want to talk about and a bit about how you participated in the election. We might not be able to hear from everyone on the day, but we want to hear from as many people as we can.' said Mr Laxale.
