Poll on electoral changes
Research NZ polled 1,000 NZers on possible electoral changes. The results are:
- Move from three to four year term – 61% yes, 25% no = +36% net support
- Introduce compulsory voting – 40% yes, 46% no = -6% net opposition
- Lower voting age to 16 – 20% yes, 72% no = -52% net opposition
I’m in the majority or plurality for all of those.
