The Local Electoral (Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Act is an Act of Parliament in New Zealand which eliminates mechanisms for holding public referendums on the establishment of Māori wards and constituencies on local bodies. The Act was supported by the Labour, Green and Māori parties but opposed by the opposition National and ACT parties. National attempted to delay the bill by mounting a twelve-hour-long filibuster challenging all of the Act's ten clauses.[2][3]
