新西兰总理克里斯托弗·卢克森(Christopher Luxon)为投票法的修改辩护,这些修改将结束同一天的选民登记,要求人们在投票开始前13天登记。 New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon defended changes to voting laws that would end same-day voter registration, requiring people to enroll 13 days before advance voting starts. 检察总长朱迪思·柯林斯警告说,这可能剥夺多达10万人的权利,但卢克森认为,这些变革确保了每个人都能参与民主。 Attorney-General Judith Collins warned this could disenfranchise up to 100,000 people, but Luxon argued the changes ensure everyone can still participate in democracy. 批评者说,这一举动可能会对年轻的选民和少数民族产生不成比例的影响。 Critics say the move could disproportionately affect younger voters and ethnic minorities.
