Dear Electoral Commission,

In this historical story about the 1999 election (http://web.archive.org/web/2000022923202...) two complaints were mentioned as to be laid with the Electoral Commission: a complaint by Jeanette Fitzsimmons over scrutineers, and a complaint by Mark Gosche over a voting booth not being open. I would like to request under the Official Information Act: copies of those complaints, and copies of any rulings about these complaints by the Electoral Commission.

If any information is available then I would also like to request a list of all complaints lodged with the Electoral Commission over the 1999 General Election. This would be only a the title/subject matter of the complaint rather than the complaint itself in order to try to reduce the amount of work required.

Although not required under the OIA, I understand it is often useful to describe the reason why a person is requesting information. I am requesting them because I am a student of political science and law, and how electoral law functions is interesting to me.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger
