This bill amends the Electoral Act 1993 and the Electoral Regulations 1996. This bill will improve New Zealand's voting experience by making it as easy as possible for New Zealanders to vote. And isn't that a good thing in a democracy? I want to thank the Justice Committee for its diligent consideration of the bill, and those members of the public who made submissions. The committee received 131 submissions from interested groups and individuals. The committee also heard oral evidence from 11 submitters. Most of those submitters strongly supported the bill, which provides greater accessibility for voters and helps increase voter engagement.
