Former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer has been accused of perjury after he told a sentencing hearing he didn't intend to rig the election that catapulted him into office.

Mehajer, 32, was found guilty of electoral fraud in April after magistrate Beverley Schurr found he had engaged in a joint criminal enterprise with his sister Fatima to rig a local government election in September 2012.

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) became "suspicious" after an "unusually large number" of online enrolment applications for voters in Auburn were submitted just before the electoral roll closed in July 2012.

Those voters were not located in the Auburn local government area and the forms were submitted from IP addresses associated with the Mehajer family.
