Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on the day after the date of their notification in the Gazette, revoke regulation 5B of the Maori Trust Boards Regulations 1985. The effect of the revocation is to remove the requirement that votes in an election for the membership of Te Runanga o Ngati Porou be cast at hui pooti. The provisions in sections 51 to 53 of the Maori Trust Boards Act 1955 as to postal voting will apply instead.
