Three Victorian independent candidates have scored an early election win, after a decision by the electoral commission to reject their how-to-vote cards was overturned.
Kew candidate Sophie Torney, Hawthorn candidate Melissa Lowe and Mornington candidate Kate Lardner launched legal action after the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) denied registration of their how-to-vote cards because they did not place numbers next to the names of other candidates.
