The Electoral Commission is being defended this morning. 

About 1.4 million voters haven't received their EasyVote packs three days into the 13-day voting period. 

Electoral law expert Graeme Edgeler says the thing that delays them is that the cards have party lists and the names of local candidates.  

He told Mike Hosking that this delay is the norm, and it would be almost impossible to get them out on time.  

Edgeler says it's difficult for them because that information was only available mid-last month.  

He adds mail is not as fast as it used to be.
