Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

The Electoral Commission can give some information to a designated body. You need to know that this can happen if a Maori elector has agreed to it under section 111C(1) and has not changed their mind. The Electoral Commission can also give information if a Maori elector has agreed to share their iwi affiliation information under section 111C(3).

The information the Electoral Commission can give includes details about the elector from section 111C(2), the elector's iwi affiliation information, and the name of any organisation the elector wants to share this information with, as stated in section 111C(3)(b)(ii). The Electoral Commission can charge a fee for giving this information.

The designated body can use this information to create a register of iwi affiliations and share this information with organisations it is allowed to under section 111F. However, the designated body must not use this information to find out about a Maori elector's whakapapa, except for the purpose described.
