On Friday 22 April 2022 candidates for the federal election were formally declared at public events held across Australia, in accordance with the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Electoral Act).
There has been recent public commentary regarding the enrolment of the following three candidates.
As with similar previous matters, the AEC has investigated each of these matters and at this point it is our view that there is insufficent evidence of enrolment fraud or false declarations to support referring any of them to the AFP.
