Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

The Ministers of Justice and Maori Affairs can choose a person or group to get certain information. This information is used to create a register of iwi affiliations. You can find out what information this is by looking at section 111C(2) and section 111C(3)(b).

The Ministers must be sure the person or group they choose can manage the information correctly. They must also be sure the person or group is good with money and can follow the rules, including the Privacy Act 2020. The person or group must be able to pay for the register and meet any other rules set out in regulations made under section 267(c).

The Ministers can change their mind at any time and stop a person or group from getting the information. They do this by putting a notice in the Gazette.
