The Justice Minister's looking at rolling back the option to enrol on election day. 

An Auditor-General report's identified multiple errors with the vote counting process, including miscounts, data entry mistakes, and the misplacement of one ballot box, which was not counted. 

It's also found the official result was rushed through within a few hours on the day it was announced. 

Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking that New Zealand is one of the only countries that allows people to enrol to vote on election day. 

He says that applies enormous pressure to the system and is why it took three weeks to count the votes last election, and mistakes were made.
