Candidates’ anger as vote counting grinds to halt on ECQ site

Three hours after polls closed less than 1 per cent of the vote had been counted in Logan but tempers flared after ECQ said it was going to shut up shop at 10pm.

No results after three hours of counting and ECQ plans to pack up at 10pm.

CANDIDATES for Logan's 12 seats have expressed frustration over the slow vote count and lack of up-to-date date on the Electoral Commission of Queensland’s website.

Three hours after polls closed, no seats or the mayor had been decided.

Mayoral candidate Darren Power watches the slow results... It’s like watching paint dry.

Mayoral Candidate Darren Power said he was disappointed the results were so slow to appear on the Electoral Commission site.

“This is a crucial election and its disappointing that the ECQ is going to pack up at 10pm and leave the canddiates guessing as to who has won.” he said.

“It’s been a difficult campaign with how to vote cards banned and coronavirus and a range of other distractions but to have this at the last minute makes it all the more difficult.”
