New Zealand's Forest and Bird Conservation Organisation has been organising an annual bird contest every year since 2005 to raise awareness of native birds.
According to CNN reported on the 11th, the organizers found 1500 illegal tickets on the 10th, and once pushed the small spotted kiwi to the top of the competition. Contest spokeswoman Laura Keane said cheating ballots were sent by different fake email addresses, but could all be traced back to the same IP address in oakland city.

At present, the annual bird contest has received 35,000 votes, and the cheating votes have all been eliminated by the organizers, and the current leader is Anjima Albatross. Keane said the Kiwi is New Zealand's national bird and represents the values of democracy, fairness, equality and honesty for New Zealanders, and "we cannot condone illegal voting for such a cute bird".
