Let's keep MMP & make it even better.

In 2011, we will vote in a referendum on keeping MMP. 

Find out below why MMP is the fairest and most representative electoral system for New Zealand, and how to keep and improve it.

What’s happening in 2011?

In 2011 we will vote on whether or not to keep MMP, at a referendum that runs alongside the general election.

Why is MMP fairer?

MMP is a proportional system.  The seats a political party gets in Parliament matches the votes they win at the election.  A party that gets a quarter of votes, gets a quarter of seats.

Under systems like First Past the Post and Supplementary Member, a party can get fewer votes than its competitor yet still win an election.

What if I want to change parts of MMP I don’t like?

The best way to improve MMP is to vote for it in 2011.  If most voters pick MMP it will automatically trigger an independent review of it.

This means voters can have confidence that a vote for MMP is a vote to make MMP better.

I support MMP! What can I do to make sure we keep it?

We’d love to have you on board. Here’s three things you can do to be part of the campaign:

1. Tell your family, friends and networks about MMP and why it’s fairer.
2. Sign up to receive updates and campaigning ideas by email or by post.
3. Got a special skill, time or money to help the campaign? Let us know how you can help.
