This week I withdrew the New Zealand Public Health and Disability (Change of Electoral System for District Health Boards) Amendment Bill from the Members Bill ballot. The Bill sought to amend the voting system for district health boards from a single transferrable vote (STV) system to a first past the post (FPP) system.
The next DHB elections are scheduled for October this year. If the Bill was drawn in the next few weeks it would no doubt have been either before the Health Select Committee or being debated by the House at the time of the election. This could have been a confusing factor in that election so I have decided to defer the Bill for 12 months and reintroduce it into the ballot after the elections are over.
