Electoral Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 17 Dec 2025

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill amends the Electoral Act 1993 to make electoral law and administration more modern, robust, and effective ahead of the 2026 general election.
