Voting Process

Mandated Treaty negotiators for the Marutūāhu Iwi have negotiated a collective redress deed with the Crown.

During the voting period, voting will be available for Ngāti Pāoa iwi members, aged 18 years or over, to ratify the Marutūāhu Iwi Collective Redress Deed and post-settlement governance entities.

The voting period is: Monday 9 September, to 5pm Monday 21 October 2024

The two resolutions to be voted on by Ngāti Pāoa are:

I, as a member of Ngāti Pāoa, support the Marutūāhu Iwi Collective Redress Deed.
I, as a member of Ngāti Pāoa, support the Marutūāhu Collective cultural and commercial PSGE’s receiving the Marutūāhu Collective Redress.

Registered adult iwi members will receive document packs by post, which include a:

• Ratification information booklet; and

• Voting pack (voting information, voting form and free-post envelope).

As detailed in the voting form, all eligible Ngāti Pāoa voters can e-vote by internet, vote by free-post envelope, or by ballot box at any of the ratification information hui.

If you are registered with the Ngāti Pāoa Iwi Trust and have not received a document pack by Wednesday 11 September, it likely means your postal address details were out of date.

Please contact the Returning Officer at Election Services 0800 922 822 (NZ) or 1800 951 355 (Aus), or info@electionservices.co.nz, and ask for a voting form to be sent to you at your current address or electronically.
