Let's keep MMP & make it even better.

On Election Day, 26 November 2011, New Zealand voters will be asked to vote in a referendum on our electoral system. This is the referendum voting paper.



You will be asked two questions:
1. Do you want to keep MMP, or change to another voting system?
2. Which of the four alternative voting systems you would prefer if New Zealand decided to change from MMP?

The four alternative systems are:

•    First Past the Post (FPP)
•    Preferential Vote (PV)
•    Supplementary Member (SM)
•    Single Transferable Vote (STV).
