Electoral (District Boundaries) Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 31 Jul 2026

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 align the policy settings in the Act with the Government's work to modernise the census process, while ensuring that there is a logical link between boundary reviews and the electoral cycles to which they relate.
