The Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Bill

LGNZ welcomes the opportunity to submit on the Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Bill (the Bill). We are opposed to the reinstatement of binding polls for Māori wards and Māori constituencies. We urge the Government to reconsider its position and leave local councils to make decisions about appropriate representation arrangements in partnership with iwi and their communities.
