A former Melbourne councillor was unduly elected in local polls affected by ballot tampering in 2020, a tribunal has found.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal made the finding about Milad El-Halabi over his election to the northwest ward of Merri-bek City Council, then called Moreland City Council, as part of an inquiry into the election.
