The returning officer I suspect has been told forthright to refer all enquires back to NZF&G. I was told not long after the election by the returning officer that they were not contracted to provide post election evaluation. The election regs say the rolls are held at the office of the region concerned which with any amount of competence the returning officer would have told you. NZF&G have a statutory obligation to oversee the election process and if there are any concerns about the elections that is where the buck stops.
Did you outline your concerns to NZF&G?
