澳大利亚选举委员会已完成对昆士兰联邦工党议员Ali France投票登记的调查，并于周一宣布驳回违规指控[1]。该指控由自由党参议员James McGrath提出，声称France在一处空地进行了投票登记[1]。
选举委员会查实后发现，France的Arana Hills物业因正在重建而无法居住，她在此期间临时居住于位于Gap的投资物业[1]。委员会发言人表示，登记条款"设计用来覆盖当一个人因房产正在翻新或重建而无法在登记地址居住"的情况[1]。选举委员会确认France未违反《选举法》中的登记要求[1]。
France在2025年选举中击败Peter Dutton，赢得Dickson选区[1]。此前，类似针对昆士兰体育部长Tim Mander的投票登记调查也被澳大利亚联邦警察驳回[1]。
The Australian Electoral Commission has concluded its investigation into voter registration complaints against Queensland federal Labor MP Ali France, finding no breach of electoral law.[1] The allegations, lodged by Liberal Senator James McGrath, challenged France's voting registration at an Arana Hills property that was undergoing reconstruction.[1]
France was unable to reside at the registered address because the property was being rebuilt, prompting her to temporarily occupy an investment property in Gap, located in a different electoral division.[1] An AEC spokesperson clarified that the registration provision was designed to accommodate such circumstances, explaining: "When a person cannot reside at a registered address because the property is undergoing renovation or reconstruction, this registration clause is designed to cover such situations."[1] The commission formally announced on Monday that it had "reviewed the allegations and found no evidence of non-compliance with the registration requirements under the Electoral Act."[1]
France defeated Peter Dutton in the Dickson electorate at the 2025 election.[1] The case follows a similar investigation into Queensland Sports Minister Tim Mander's voter registration, which was also dismissed by the Australian Federal Police.[1]
