Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Electoral (Māori Electoral Option) Legislation Bill. It would change the name of “general electoral district”
to “non-Māori electoral district”
, as it creates confusion for Māori voters that the term “general”
is applied to the electoral district and roll as well as the national elections in which Māori electoral districts are also being voted in.
