Electoral (Māori Electoral Option) Legislation Bill
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 would allow people to transfer between the Māori and general electoral rolls at nearly any time, and as many times as they wish.MP in charge
