The Australian Electoral Commission has responded after the shadow minister for Indigenous Australians, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, questioned the impartiality of the commission’s delivery of remote polling.

Price also suggested people handing out how-to-vote cards “overpower vulnerable Aboriginal communities”, when seeking to counter the fact many Indigenous communities had voted yes to a voice to parliament.
