Graeme Edgeler: Constitutional lawyer says late enrolments aren't the reason for a slow election vote count.

Late enrolments aren't the reason for a slow election vote count. 

That's according to constitutional lawyer Graeme Edgeler, who agrees with comments from the Electoral Commission that changes to voting rules won't speed up the process. 

The government's ending same-day enrolments and requiring people to enrol 13 days before polling day. 

But Edgeler told Ryan Bridge that it won't solve the delay. 

He says checks for people on the unpublished roll or voting out of their electorates also delay the process.
