Overview
- ECSA, after last week's Port Pirie discovery, confirmed Tuesday it had also found uncounted ballots from Enfield and Newland after results were declared.
- Attorney‑General Kyam Maher said the new batch is in the order of dozens and pressed the commission for specifics about where and how they were missed.
- The commission said House of Assembly results will not change, and Legislative Council papers will be added to the upper‑house count due May 1.
- Acting commissioner Leah McLay opened internal investigations, backed an arm’s‑length external review, and apologised for the operational failures.
- The latest problems follow reports of staff shortages, training gaps and delayed payments, and have prompted questions about ECSA’s transparency and the chief commissioner’s unexplained leave.
