The Māori Electoral System is a unique component of New Zealand's electoral framework, designed to ensure representation for the Māori population. It allows eligible voters to choose between the general electoral roll and a separate Māori electoral roll, which is specifically for Māori candidates. This system aims to enhance political participation and representation for Māori communities. Under this system, Māori voters can select from Māori electorates, which are distinct from general electorates. The Māori Electoral Act 2001 governs the process, ensuring that Māori voices are heard in the New Zealand Parliament. This approach reflects the commitment to recognizing the rights and interests of Māori people in the democratic process.
