A possible voting scam is being investigated by police as ballot papers are about to be posted for Auckland's Super city election.

It follows an investigation by the Weekend Herald which found that nearly 90 voters had been enrolled as living in two houses.

Forty eight people gave a house in Papatoetoe as their address and 39 gave another house in the same suburb.

A police spokeswoman said "possible electoral enrolment irregularities" were being looked into but would not comment further.
