Request for documents pertaining to the establishment of Drive Through COVID Voting Centre at one location
Dear Victorian Electoral Commission,
I am concerned that the VEC operated in an unfair manner that disadvantaged me and other Victorians who contracted COVID and wanted to follow the COVID Safe recommendations from the Victorian Department of Health and not put others at risk by attending polling booths whilst potentially infectious.
I request the following documents
All emails, briefing notes, diary notes (electronic or written) and reports including but not limited to the following'
1. Departmental emails and diary notes (electronic and written) relating to the establishment of the Drive Through Site in Melton and all other sites that were examined and/or considered
2. Departmental reports and diary notes (electronic and written) relating to the establishment of the previously mentioned site and all other sites that were examined and/or considered
3. All reports, diary notes (electronic and written), briefing notices, communication and public releases relating to the previously mentioned site and all other sites that were examined and/or considered
4. All emails and diary notes (electronic and written) from and to the VEC from Government departments, Candidates, Candidate representatives and political parties for the previously mentioned site and all other sites that were examined and/or considered.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Williams
