Electoral Law Reform

Simon Green made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Simon Green to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Simon Green

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I write to request all documents relating to the Ministry's advice to the Minister of Justice regarding the upcoming electoral law reforms. I would like to see information regarding the Minister's priorities for the reform - for example, would he like to prioritise enfranchisement, or cost reduction. I would like to see the Ministry's modelling on the possible effects on enfranchisement vs costs and time to complete an electoral count. I would also like to see any other suggestions that the Ministry may have offered which could effect time savings without any detriment to enfranchisement such as beginning the postal and special ballot count before election day whilst keeping the partial results secret.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Green
