Electoral Act 1993

Registration of electors - Registration

84: Registration of persons outside New Zealand

You could also call this:

"How to register to vote if you live outside New Zealand"

Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

If you are outside New Zealand, you can apply to be registered as an elector. You can do this through a representative, which means someone can help you with your application. You can follow the same rules as someone who is applying under section 83, and the rules in section 86 also apply to you, with a few changes to make it work for someone who is not in New Zealand.
