When electoral integrity is undermined, investigations can't afford to fail
Electoral commissions face increasingly complex matters, including digital campaigning, influencer payments, anonymous political financing, and coordinated disinformation, using tools not designed for investigations. Fragmented evidence and unstructured cases weaken enforcement.
The digital campaigning frontier
Social media, influencers, podcasts, and AI-generated content have transformed how campaigns operate. Regulators are investigating conduct that moves fast, leaves complex digital evidence trails, and often crosses jurisdictional lines.
Complexity and variety of evidence
Electoral investigations can involve financial records, digital communications, advertising data, witness interviews, and publicly available content — all requiring consolidation, analysis, and connection to specific offence elements before a matter can proceed.
Progressing matters to enforcement
Evidence gathered during electoral investigations is often not structured to clearly support the legal elements of an offence. Without this structure, matters stall, briefs are returned, and enforcement outcomes are delayed or lost.
AI-assisted evidence and brief management
From intake through evidence collection, mapping to offence elements, and brief of evidence for enforcement.
Evidence in the field
The frontline mobile app allows the capture of field notes, photographs and supports the conduct of interviews.
Event chronology
Timeline of key events that are associated with the matter under investigation.
Evidence mapping
Link exhibits such as documents, interviews and photos directly to the allegation it supports.
Brief of evidence
Builds prosecution-ready briefs from day one, not just assembled at the conclusion of an investigation.
AI-assisted evidence analysis
A proven methodology for mapping evidence to every element of the offence
Comtrac supports a clear and methodical approach to building enforcement-ready cases. In an investigation into undisclosed political donations or unauthorised electoral advertising, AI can assist investigators in analysing exhibits and mapping them to the specific elements of each offence, identifying evidentiary gaps before a matter proceeds. Investigators remain in control throughout, with AI operating under a human-in-the-loop model.
Frontline capability
Seamless in-field evidence collection for electoral investigations
The Comtrac Frontline mobile app (iOS and Android) enables investigators to capture field notes, photographs, and evidence in real time, and conduct interviews on the spot. AI capabilities then analyse and summarise interviews instantly, generating draft witness statements for immediate review and signature in the field.
Enforcement ready
Investigation briefs that hold up, whatever enforcement pathway follows
Electoral integrity matters can result in anything from infringement notices and enforceable undertakings through to civil penalty proceedings and referral to prosecutors. Comtrac builds the brief of evidence throughout the investigation, not under pressure at the end. Every finding is linked to evidence, every decision is timestamped, and the final record is structured for whatever enforcement pathway the matter requires.
Results speak for themselves
Leading law enforcement, government regulators and private enterprise handle their most critical investigations with Comtrac.
