The Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters announced a proposal to the Australian Electoral Commission to the 2016 Federal Election. The document provides a vague description of how Australia can prevent the possibility of their election system getting hacked by hacker groups, especially those funded by state-actors. The committee emphasized that they are for free, fair and transparent elections based on the principles of Australian democracy. They highlight the importance of having a credible election which in turn brings people of Australia to trust the soon to be newly elected parliament. According to the Australia Institute, electoral turnout has been falling for decades internationally.”]
