They should have been delivered on the day of publishing, according to Stuff’s agreement with its delivery contractor. However, this did not happen, despite the contractor also providing guidance to their field supervisors that no election material should be delivered on the Saturday. Hannah Peters/Getty Images Stuff was notified of the late delivery on election day, which was then referred to police on Wednesday. “We're very disappointed this happened because we go to great lengths to adhere to electoral law,” Robertson said. “As soon as we were notified of the issue by the Electoral Commission we took action to ensure no further papers had been delivered late.”
