Kia ora D Watson

 

We are acknowledging your Official Information request, received on
Wednesday 23 October, requesting:

 

I now formally request access to the aforementioned non-finalised/draft
reports which per the ombudsman have the same standing under the OIA as
"finalised" documents - i.e. they are still official information -
regardless of the fact that they are in draft.

I want access to these documents that are noted in your previous reply

We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable within
the 20 working days.

 

 

Ngā mihi

Dear Electoral Commission,
Please refer to 2024/59
Please refer to
[6]https://elections.nz/assets/OIA-requests...

I previously asked for documentation for reviews that were carried.

I was refused access as these reports were not yet finalised.

I sent several replies to that but it seems none have been actioned.
These should be logged in your system they are all visible on fyi org.nz

...So here is another OIA to see if that helps me

I now formally request access to the aforementioned non-finalised/draft
reports which per the ombudsman have the same standing under the OIA as
"finalised" documents - i.e. they are still official information -
regardless of the fact that they are in draft.

I want access to these documents that are noted in your previous reply

"The four ‘Steps the Electoral Commission has taken in response’
referenced in OIA 2023/84 have been taken in the form of two reports.
These reports are in their final stages but have not yet been finalised.
We are therefore refusing your request under section 18(e) of the Act on
the grounds that this information does not yet exist. "

Yours faithfully,
D. Watson
