Hon Dr NICK SMITH: Thank you, Madam Chair. I would love the Minister in the chair, Andrew Little, to give an explanation as to why when he announced this provision, he was not upfront with New Zealanders that the announcement of the election result would need to be delayed by a further 10 days for there to be able to be same-day enrolment and voting. That is what we now know was the advice that came from the Electoral Commission. That was in the bill. But, of course, the Minister did not wish to advise the public of that significant change to the way in which our elections would be conducted. There is a balance, and the balance that needs to be found is in terms of members on this side of the House, who want to maximise participation and we want to maximise the integrity of the vote and the timing of it. And here's the trade-off: should 3.4 million New Zealanders have to wait another 10 days for the election result because 19,000 people couldn't be bothered getting themselves on to the roll? The Government has chosen to take the views of the 19,000; we take the view of the 3.4 million New Zealanders who have done so.
