Māori wards Explainer
What’s happening and what you can do
Māori wards and constituencies are vital to local decision-making and have many benefits
for our communities. However, we have to vote in the upcoming local body elections to retain them.
This two-page resource provides trustworthy information on:
- Why we have Māori wards and how they work
- The key issues now
- How our communities benefit from Māori wards
- Actions you can take to retain Māori wards
We’ve developed this explainer, along with our Te Tiriti explainer and Te Tiriti conversation guide and Treaty Principles explainer to support conversations and action to uphold Te Tiriti. We encourage you to share these resources with friends, whānau and colleagues.
