Maori Electoral Option

The Maori Electoral Option will run from April to August this year. The Maori Electoral Option gives Maori the opportunity to choose whether to be enrolled on the general electoral roll or the Maori electoral roll. Currently some 380,000 people identified of Maori descent are enrolled to vote. 210,000 people are on the Maori electoral roll. The decisions Maori make during the Maori Electoral Option also helps decide the number of Maori electorates for the next election.

The 2006 Maori Electoral Option will be run by the Electoral Enrolment Centre. More information about the Maori Electoral Option is available from http://www.elections.org.nz/enrolment/maori_option_faq.html
