A former Melbourne councillor accused of voter fraud allegedly offered to pay residents $500 to rig their ballot papers.
Milad El-Halabi was elected to the northwest ward of the Moreland City Council - now Merri-bek City Council - in October 2020.
But police allege El-Halabi, his wife Dianna, 52, and daughter Tania, 26, stole and interfered with postal ballots in the lead up to the election.
