Palmer seizes on wayward voters

Independent federal MP Clive Palmer has stepped up calls for electronic voting after revelations one person is suspected of voting 15 times in the 2013 election.

Federal police will look into 128 cases where Australians voted more than once.

"None of this could happen if people were required to present ID," Mr Palmer told reporters in Canberra on Wednesday.

"To board a flight you need ID ... but not to exercise your democratic rights."

Mr Palmer said an electronic system would also fix the issue.

The MP has been critical of the Australian Electoral Commission following a vote recount in the seat of Fairfax, which he won with a final margin of 53 votes.

Labor senator Kelvin Thomson also expressed concerns about the lack of voter identification at polling places.

"There's no check during the day that (people) haven't gone somewhere else," he said.

"Having computers to mark people off the electoral roll would obviously help."

Australian Greens MP Adam Bandt said the AEC generally did a good job despite some recent mistakes.
