Electoral Commission
Te Kaitiaki Take Kōwhiri
Electoral Commission Decision on United Future Request
The Electoral Commission today considered a submission by United Future New Zealand in relation to its application for
registration of a political party.
The party requested that the Commission amend its Policy and Procedure for the Registration of Political Parties to
accept evidence of membership based on an electronic spreadsheet of membership data rather than membership evidence
signed by each member which the policy currently requires.
The Commission’s decision has now been reached, and the party notified. The full decision is attached, and no further
comment will be made.
The decision is also available at www.elections.org.nz/news-media.
