New Zealand's Green Party proposes constitutionally protecting Māori electoral seats with a 75% vote requirement to end them.

The Green Party of New Zealand has introduced a member’s bill to constitutionally protect Māori electoral seats, requiring a 75% parliamentary majority to abolish them—matching the threshold for general seats. The bill, sponsored by Hūhana Lyndon, aims to correct a constitutional imbalance and uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi, while also allowing Māori voters to switch electoral rolls at any time and vote on different rolls for local elections, aligning with 2023 review recommendations. It must be drawn from the parliamentary ballot to proceed.
