Hon ANDREW LITTLE: Parliament has passed a number of measures to make it easier to vote in this year's general election. This includes changes to the Electoral Act to allow New Zealanders to enrol and vote on election day and to allow supermarkets and malls to be used as voting places if the commission chooses to do so. In addition to what Parliament has done, the Government has also made a number of temporary changes to electoral regulations that were requested by the Electoral Commission to assist in delivering the election in a COVID-19 environment. These temporary changes make remote voting easier, which therefore gives New Zealanders confidence in participating in the election safely.
