MMP review – giving New Zealanders a say

New Zealanders voted to keep MMP in the referendum and we are continuing to deliver on our promise by having the Electoral Commission undertake a review of how MMP works.

National campaigned in 2008 on giving New Zealanders a say on their electoral system. The National-led Government kept this promise by holding a referendum on the electoral system alongside the 2011 general election – a referendum that Labour originally opposed.

We strongly urge New Zealanders to have their say on this review by making a submission. Making a submission is easy – they can be made online, by email, or by post. Submissions can also be presented in person.

Details of the review and the aspects of MMP being reviewed can be found at: http://www.mmpreview.org.nz or by calling 0800 36 76 56.
