Karl Le Quesne: Electoral Commission's Chief Electoral Officer on the voting count errors at multiple polling locations - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The Electoral Commission has apologised over errors in the vote count at three polling booths. 

It's checking all results after admitting a data entry error caused hundreds of votes to be assigned to the wrong party. 

At a booth in Port Waikato, more than 500 votes intended for National were wrongly assigned to the Leighton Baker Party. 

Another booth in Port Waikato, and a polling station in Ilam, both had the incorrect count. 

Chief Electoral Officer Karl Le Quesne told Mike Hosking that they're re-checking candidate votes at the moment. 

He says most were processed yesterday and there are possibly a few more errors, but they're just confirming that today.
