The Government has released proposed wording for next year's referendum on MMP.
The proposed questions are:
Part A
Should the current MMP voting system be retained?
*I vote to retain the MMP voting system
*I vote to change to another voting system.
Part B
Regardless of how you voted under part A, if there was a change to another voting system, which voting system would you choose?
*I would choose the First Past the Past system.
*I would choose the Preferential Voting system.
*I would choose the Single Transferable Vote system.
*I would choose the Supplementary Member system.
Voters can choose to answer one or both questions.
If a majority don't want to retain MMP, a second, binding referendum will be held with the 2014 general election asking voters to choose between MMP and the preferred option chosen in the first referendum.
Justice Minister Simon Power said the bill containing the question would be sent to select committee for consideration.
