The Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters will be holding hearings in Adelaide on 4 and 5 May 2026 as part of its inquiry into the 2025 Federal Election.
The Committee Chair, Mr Jerome Laxale MP said, 'People across Australia have told the Committee about their experiences of aggressive and confrontational behaviour at polling booths. Hearing about these experiences contributes to the Committee's efforts to ensure voting at the next election is the peaceful expression of civic pride it should be.'
'When the Committee visits Adelaide, South Australians are encouraged to talk about their own experiences of the 2025 federal election. The evidence gathered will inform the Committee's efforts to prevent poor behaviour at future federal elections', said Mr Laxale.
