Taskforce advice provides assurance on 2024 Cook by-election

Updated: 8 May 2024

The Electoral Integrity Assurance Taskforce (EIAT) Board has provided formal advice to the Australian Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, following return of the writ for the 2024 Cook by-election.

The Board advised Mr Rogers that “EIAT agencies did not identify any foreign interference, or any other interference, that compromised the delivery of the 2024 Cook by-election and would undermine the confidence of the Australian people in the results of the by-election.”

“Protecting the integrity of electoral processes is critical to upholding public trust in Australia’s democracy. The EIAT and EIAT Board play a vital role in maintaining electoral integrity and I am pleased to be able to share this advice with Australians,” Mr Rogers said.
