    MMP supporters say they will honour a promise made during the campaign to help the public take part in the fine tuning of MMP, and are calling for the Electoral Commission to lead a deeper discussion than that announced today.

    “During our campaign, lots of people told us that they wanted MMP, but with some modifications,” Keep MMP spokesperson Sandra Grey said.

    “The last time we had a thorough look at MMP’s workings was in 1986.  25 years later, we need to make sure this review of MMP as effective as possible.”

    MMP is now firmly here to stay, Keep MMP spokesperson Sandra Grey said today.

    Today’s MMP referendum results shows that nearly 58% of valid votes cast were to keep MMP, with just over 42% opting for change. 

    Sandra Grey said that during the past two years the Keep MMP group had been campaigning, they hadn’t detected a mood to change the voting system, but rather a desire to revise aspects of it.

    Despite results of the election being known on the night, MMP referendum results won't be confirmed until 2pm on December 10th.

    This is because the priority for the Electoral Commission is the election results, so parties can start the process of forming the new government.

    The results of people who voted in advance of November 26 were released on the night though, representing about 10 per cent of votes overall. 

  • MMP Referendum now a two horse race

    The voting systems referendum is now a two horse race between MMP and First Past the Post, a new analysis of opinion surveys show, and people should vote to keep MMP unless they want to return to FPP, Keep MMP says.

    Keep MMP has analysed all published opinion polls in 2011 that asked voters’ preference of the alternatives to MMP on Saturday’s ballot paper.

    In all cases, for voters who expressed a preference First Past the Post is the clear leader, meaning if New Zealanders trigger a second referendum in 2014 by voting for change, it will be between MMP and FPP.
