Questions over whether the postal voting system is working after a South Auckland local body election was overturned. 

Judge Richard McIlraith ruled irregularities altered the outcome of the Papatoetoe vote for the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board. 

The case involved stolen voting papers and fraudulent use, and a new election must be held by April 9. 

Former Deputy Chair Vi Hausia told Heather du Plessis-Allan this was discovered when names of people who didn't cast a vote, showed in the system. 

He says groups of people also went to cast a special vote after not receiving their paper but found they supposedly had already voted.
