New Zealand's National Party leader Christopher Luxon considers a 2026 referendum on extending political term from 3 to 4 years, with cross-party support.

New Zealand's National Party leader, Christopher Luxon, is considering a referendum on extending the political term from three to four years at the next election in 2026. This idea has cross-party support and is included in the coalition agreements with ACT and NZ First. Currently, three countries, including New Zealand, have a three-year term, while most others use a four-year term, which supporters argue would lead to more thoughtful legislation.
