 As a result, Perram J ruled that Ms Trevitt’s enrolment claim was “in order” due to the fact that the "Electronic Transactions Act" was applicable to the meaning of Section 102(1)(b) of the "Commonwealth Electoral Act" and therefore a digital signature fulfilled the necessary enrolment requirement.The respondent was ordered to pay the applicants’ costs and Ms Trevitt’s online claim was added to the electoral roll.The Federal Court made its ruling in a context where the Electoral Commissioner was already accepting signatures in forms (such as facsimile, JPEG image) that were susceptible to a degree of manipulation.
