Scrutineers 

The Scrutineer Policy LG.215 is available from the NSW Electoral Commission website. The policy describes the role of scrutineers in NSW local government elections for Councillors and Mayors and how scrutineers can comply with the law during the election and the counting of votes.  

The policy also aims to make it easier for scrutineers to examine paper ballots, electronic records, and data entry records, as well as providing information on the audit process for electronic counting
