Update on '"steps the electoral commission has taken in response" per OIA ref 2023/84a

D Watson made this Official Information request to Electoral Commission

This request has had an unusual response, and requires attention from the FYI team.

From: D Watson

Dear Electoral Commission,
In the following OIA you have stated that a number of reviews would be carried out in Q1 and Q2 2024, see the section "steps the electoral commission has taken in response"

https://elections.nz/assets/OIA-requests...

Please provide the documentation for these reviews - the actual documented reviews themselves -and any information about the work carried out by third parties (consulting firms etc.) or internally in relation to these reviews - for example responses to the reviews, managment or board comments, terms or reference etc.

Further can you provide the cost of these reviews.

I have been unable to find a specific update in your report on the 2023 general election.

Were there any other reviews , beyond the ones mentioned in the above OIA, that were carried out related to issues reported during the election , I am particulary interested in reviews by third parties and the responses to same.
Yours faithfully,

D Watson
