National is delivering on its pre-election promise to hold a referendum on MMP no later than 2011. We want the public to have their say on this important issue.
At the 2011 general election voters will be asked two questions – if they want to change the system, and what alternative voting system they would prefer.
If a majority of voters want to change the system, a further referendum will be held in 2014 asking voters if they prefer MMP or the alternative voting option that receives the most votes in 2011.
The 2017 general election will be held under the alternative system if more people prefer that option.
If voters want to change the system, there will be plenty of time for the public to discuss the merits of MMP and the alternative option before the second referendum.
