"There are a number of jobs that require police checks and since these votes decide our parliament, I expected it to be mandatory."

Under the hiring rules for elections, the only information that potential workers must disclose to the Victoria Election Commission is related to political activities.

The Victorian Labor government on Tuesday called on the CVE to take action to prevent the recurrence of the situation in Rutherglen that alarmed those who voted in school.

"We share the real concerns of the community on this issue and are confident that the AEC will conduct a comprehensive review of its post-election recruitment processes to ensure that this does not happen again," said a spokesperson.

The VEC promised to reevaluate, but a spokesman said the volume of workers and lack of time were obstacles to the criminal record check.

Mr. Tilley was not in agreement.

"Polling station employees were not hired in the last two minutes before the election. It's paid work. The commissioner should make sure that all the checks are done, "he said.

"If the problem had been raised at the time, the director of the polling station should have called Melbourne and that person would have given their orders."

Wangaratta anti-crime activist Tania Maxwell, who is going to win a seat in the Upper House of the Victorian Parliament, does not understand why the CVE does not have a judicial check and said it would "support that 110%."
