The New Zealand voting system referendum, 2011 is a referendum being held to decide whether to retain the existing mixed member proportional (MMP) voting system, or to change to another voting system, in electing Members of Parliament to New Zealand's House of Representatives. It will be held in conjunction with the 2011 general election, which is set down to be held on Saturday 26 November 2011.

The questions being asked are:

Part A
Should New Zealand keep the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system?

  • I vote to keep the MMP voting system
  • I vote to change to another voting system

    • Part B
    If New Zealand were to change to another voting system, which voting system would you choose?

  • I would choose the First Past the Post system (FPP)
  • I would choose the Preferential Voting system (PV)
  • I would choose the Single Transferable Vote system (STV)
  • I would choose the Supplementary Member system (SM)

    • Advance votes (votes cast before election day) will be progressively released after polling closes at 7:00pm on 26 November (NZDT; UTC+13). Official results for the referendum will be released on 10 December 2011.
