New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says he supports holding a referendum on the country’s mixed member proportional (MMP) election voting system if he is re-elected. Bloomberg reports that Luxon’s position links the prospect of a referendum to the outcome of New Zealand’s general election later this year. According to Free Malaysia Today, Luxon says such a referendum could be held as early as 2027 should he return to power. The MMP system is currently used for parliamentary elections. The reports indicate Luxon is open to asking voters directly about whether to keep the system or change it, but they do not specify what alternatives would be on the ballot. Both outlets frame Luxon’s comments as conditional on winning re-election and do not describe any immediate legislative steps. The timing suggested in the second report places the potential vote after the end-of-year election, with planning depending on the government’s actions following the election result.
