New Zealand Electoral Referendum

The New Zealand Electoral Referendum is a process where voters decide whether to change the country's voting system. Currently, New Zealand uses a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system, which combines local representatives with party votes to reflect overall support. The referendum asks citizens if they want to keep MMP or switch to an alternative, such as First Past the Post. This process allows voters to voice their preferences directly on electoral reform, ensuring the system aligns with their views on fair representation. The outcome influences how future elections are conducted and how parliamentary seats are allocated.
