"Aim: Help make accurate iwi affiliation lists by sharing your electoral info and following rules."

Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

The objectives of sections 111B to 111F are to help create accurate lists of iwi affiliations. You can choose to share your electoral information to help make these lists. The body that creates these lists must be accountable, well managed, and follow the rules of the Electoral Act and the Privacy Act 2020. The lists of iwi affiliations can be shared with iwi organisations and other Maori organisations at a reasonable cost. You still have the right to claim affiliation with an iwi organisation and the organisation has the right to decide if you are affiliated with them.
