Do you want to keep MMP?

　　Do you want to change to another voting system?

　　You put a tick beside the one you choose.

　　Part B is the type of voting system that you want if most people vote to change. The four choices are: First Past the Post (FFP), Preferential Voting (PV), Single Transferable Vote (STV), Supplementary Member (SM).

　　If most people choose to keep MMP, Part B does not matter. However, there will probably be some changes to MMP. Some things are not very fair at the moment. For example if a small party gets one MP elected, the party is allowed four other MPs from their list. This is how ACT got 5 MPs in Parliament in 2008. The ACT Party had only 3.65% of the vote. There are 120 MPs in Parliament.

　　Listen to Referendum on MMP to hear more about this.

　　The Elections NZ website has more about the referendum.
