The Cowra Pre-polling Voting Centre, at the Cowra Uniting Church, was initially reported to have 3,702 votes supporting an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice to parliament, and 819 votes against the voice.
This would have made Cowra the second highest pre-polling site in New South Wales to support the referendum, second to Ultimo in Sydney.
An AEC spokesperson said the error was quickly identified and fixed on Monday morning.
"The count was completed correctly, as always, but there was an error when inputting the figures into the tally room. This has been rectified now," he said.
"These sorts of things are very rare and always rectified - either expedited review or when conducting the mandatory validation counts we perform on every single count we do.
"It is a process called fresh scrutiny that will be a large portion of this week's work," the spokesperson said.
Member for the Riverina, Michael McCormack said in a statement that the result is "not for celebrating."
"This referendum result should be seen as a springboard, a line in the sand, to develop effective policies which will make a tangible difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people," he said.
Mr McCormack also said he will be working with the coalition to campaign for a return of the Cashless Welfare Debit Card for remote and regional areas, and for a Royal Commission into child sexual abuse in Indigenous communities in response to the referendum result.
Polling sites in Parkes also showed a false majority, with a 78% vote in favour of an Indigenous voice to parliament.
This was updated on Monday to show a vote against a voice to parliament.
Member for Calare, Andrew Gee, told the Central Western Daily that despite the results, he 'stands by' his choice to support a voice to parliament.
"In our democracy we all get to make an individual choice. I stand by mine and I respect others making and standing by theirs," Mr Gee said.
"I've had many people, who voted either way, stop me in the street and at polling booths to say how glad they are that their local member doesn't just tow a party line and do what he's told by the party puppeteers and their machine," he said.
Across Riverina the vote, as of Wednesday morning stood at 22,916 for Yes and 70,689 for No.
In Cowra there were 1394 votes for the Yes case and 517 votes for No.
