111F: Designated body may supply information from register of iwi affiliations to iwi organisation and other Maori organisation

You could also call this:

"Iwi organisations can get information about their members from a special register."

The designated body can give information from the register of iwi affiliations to an iwi organisation or another Maori organisation. You can get this information if you are a Maori elector and you have chosen a particular organisation under section 111C(3)(b)(ii). The designated body can also give this information to any iwi organisation that they think represents the iwi you say you are affiliated with.

If you made a small mistake when you gave your iwi affiliation information under section 111C(3)(b)(i), the designated body can still use that information if they are sure they know what you meant. They can do the same thing if you made a mistake when you chose an organisation under section 111C(3)(b)(ii).

The information the designated body gives out is for the iwi organisation or other Maori organisation to use. The designated body can charge a fee for giving out this information, but the fee must be reasonable.

if the Maori elector has specified a particular organisation or organisations under section 111C(3)(b)(ii), to that organisation or organisations; or
in any other case, to any iwi organisation or organisations or other Maori organisation or organisations that the designated body is satisfied represents the iwi to which the Maori elector claims an affiliation.

If the designated body is satisfied that iwi affiliation information given by a Maori elector under section 111C(3)(b)(i) contains a spelling error or other obvious mistake, but the designated body is satisfied that it is clear to which iwi the Maori elector was referring, the designated body may apply subsection (1) as if the elector had specified that iwi.
If the designated body is satisfied that the name of an organisation or organisations specified by a Maori elector under section 111C(3)(b)(ii) contains a spelling error or other obvious mistake, but the designated body is satisfied that it is clear to which organisation or organisations the elector was referring, the designated body may apply subsection (1) as if the elector had specified that organisation or organisations.
Information supplied under this section is supplied for the purposes of the iwi organisation or other Maori organisation to which it is supplied.
Any fee charged by the designated body for the supply of information under this section must be a reasonable fee.
