The Electoral Commission is something that used to exist. You can find out what happened to it by looking at the Electoral (Administration) Amendment Act 2010. This act repealed the Electoral Commission on 1 October 2010, which means it is no longer in effect, as stated in section 6 of the Electoral (Administration) Amendment Act 2010.
