Abstract

This article challenges several aspects of the then-new electoral laws outlining the MMP ("Mixed Member Proportional") system, and claims that they are not consistent with international obligations or with the right to vote set out in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. The aspects covered are the rules relating to voting by prisoners, the residential requirements for voting, and the election of list MPs.
