Flaws in the ACT's electronic voting system could have changed the result of
the 2020 poll, cyber security experts say.
The errors did not cause the wrong candidates to be elected at the October 17 ballot, but the experts say it was only through
"good luck" that the seat contests weren't close enough for the flaws to be consequential.
The report recommended changes to the ACT's electoral laws to open the system up to public scrutiny so that serious "errors and
vulnerabilities" can be caught.
"We are going to risk that the Legislative Assembly does not reflect the will of the
people."
Mr Cantwell couldn't provide an immediate response to the report's findings because of
their "nature and complexity".
